Offset modifier inside Columns & Beams

[runxel]

Let us have an offset modifier inside the columns and beams tool.
This offset would control the distance between the complex profile's 0,0 and the construction line.

Could you post a screenshot that would illustrate this and show the results achieved by this wish? It would probably be easier for users to decide if they support the wish or not.

It would also be nice to be able to control the plan view appearance of each segment. For example a column comprised of a concrete footing / concrete stem / wood post would allow you to dash the footing to show it's below grade, give a thin line to the stem, and a thick cut line to the post. Or better if those lines were predetermined by the story they occurred on, as in Floor Plan Display.
