Hello,

Not possible at the moment, but be free to request it in the Wishlist...
Alternatively, here's a tip: Like the walls with the reference line, if you hover over the different points of the column your cursor is thicker when it is on the anchor point.

Hi! We use complex profiles to do that. We have three types, because if we want the default cross in Archicad to mark the reference point, each one needs to have an origin: center, corner, and face center. It has other disadvantages, such as dimensions resetting when the profile is changed, but it is a workaround...
