The railing tool can create a post from a revolved complex profile.
So it would be possible to create a column object that uses the complex profile and revolves it as well.
You still need multiple complex profiles if you want different column profiles, but on the other hand you can modify the profile to affect all columns using it.
It is a shame the GDL can not use the new profile modifiers in 22 (I am pretty sure that it can't) because then you could have a parametric column object (of course you could script it).
