Sadly, no. At least not with the column tool.
Walls and columns seem to be the last holdouts for showing on multiple stories. This is probably due to the complexities of automatic clean-up in plan.
But...
You can do it with a slab or library part. In AC9 the slab can now have a cover fill so it will work for simple columns. Of course, a library part can do just about anything you want if you have the resources to make it work.
The one thing you can't have is the automatic clean intersections. This can probably be managed with "bring forward"/"send backward" in plan, and for 3D clean-up there are SEOs.
Chances are you can do what you want and still keep it clean without resorting to patches and such.

OK. I made the column from a slab. When I put it inside a wall, it does not show up on plan. Tried the display order, bring to front, but to no avail. It shows up fine outside a wall.
Any clues how to make that column show up inside a wall in plan?

It's a little on the pricey side, but Masterpost_WD at Objects Online is pretty slick for wood framing posts. It tracks point loads very well.

Turns out there were two walls I was inserting the slab/column into, which I did not know. Once I deleted one, no problem.
