Hi, my wish is for columns & beams veneer.

Please add:
1. Veneer option for beams for selected sides.
2. Veneer improvement for columns for selected sides.

I am attaching a situation for the specific subject.

Thanks.

You should solve these situations by creating custom Profiles for your Columns or Beam and using those.
You can even categorize the various skins/components as Core, Finish or Other so Partial Structure Display works on them.
So I don't think this feature is needed.

Everything may be customized in Archicad.

This customization demands a lot of time and it is not effective at all and it cannot be done in every project.

I believe this tool and its improvements is a must.

Does this option in the column tool help?
Anything that is not a core in the wall composite will wrap around the column.

No it does not work with complex profile columns.
But it does with rectangular and circular columns - with or without veneers.
In the image you showed originally you would just need a stand rectangular concrete column.
