Stretchy Library Part

GDL gurus:

I would like to create a library object that is simply a repeating round or rectangular column. (like a railing but with the option to not have a top or bottom rail.

Should be able to:

-Pick round or rectangular column.
-Adjust dimensions for column size and height
-Adjust spacing.
-Adjust angles (left / right / forward / backward)
-Adjust thickness of column wall.

Thanks

I think you could do pretty much all those things with the Curtain Wall tool.
For the round frames you would have to save a custom curtain wall frame.

Thanks laszlonagy!

Still trying to work out how to create a custom frame properly but for what need right now it works fine.
