All Relevant Stories for ArchiCAD Objects?

Does the Floor Plan display of "All Relevant Stories" work with ArchiCAD objects?

I'm using the steel column object from the ArchiCAD 14 Library to span more than two stories and would like it to show on relevant stories. But that display does not seem to work for the columns or possibly any other ArchiCAD object in the Library. Why is that?

Home Story, All Stories, Home Story & One Up or Down seem to work but not All Relevant Stories. Would it be simple enough for me to alter some GDL scripting? My proficiency there is intermediate at best.

I know I could use complex profiles but this project is being shared via IFC format and am trying to minimize complex profiles where possible.

I got used to the 26 single character variables but as you can imagine it turned into a maintenance nightmare with complex parts and macro calls. Nested macros started requiring parameter maps to keep track of which letter did what in each macro. Excessive macro nesting also arose from using them to provide more than 26 variables. I'm much happier typing a little more to have readable/understandable variable names, particularly when coming back to an old part years later.
