Create an oval column that gets bigger towards the top

Hello, 
Is it possible to create a column that is oval in the plan and then becomes larger and shifted at the end, as shown in the picture?
Of course I can create an oval profile, but shifting and enlarging it towards the top is something I could not solve.

Thanks in advance

 

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon Sonoma

Hi,

I would:
1. Define a complex profile (a "base" oval) for your column.

2. Be sure to add stretch modifiers to it. Further info.

3. Be sure that the origin point of the complex profile coincides with the "axis" that you will use for the column

4. Place a column with your new complex profile. Go to the segments tab, and you can edit the top modifiers and the bottom. this will stretch the oval at the top and at the bottom.
