Is the Layer Intersection Group Number of the Wall's Layer and the Column's Layer the same? 

It is zero for either Layer? These may cause the Wall and Column to not intersect and then maybe the Column simply "hides" behind the Wall?

Did you figure it out?

While looking for a solution here, I think I found one at least..

Noticed that a column which was hidden behind a wall was set to slanted 90 degrees (coming from Tecla.)

Set to straight, and it cut through the wall.

Also noticed that if the column is set to at base level, if set to "show on relevant stories" it cuts, but not if set to "all stories"

This worked for me,
