Thank you everyone for your help...I obviously have a lot to learn! I was able to create what I want with your instructions, I just can't figure out how to put it at the end of my porch as columns. I built the porch using half walls, so when I click on the walls, the program is calling it deck railing and the the newels/posts are at the end of the porch holding the roof up. If I try to reduce the size of the front wall to make room for the pillars that I created, I lose the roof. If I make the posts "invisible", the program won't let me put my created pillars where they belong on the ends of the wall because the invisible posts are still there. I think if I could save my created pillar (base, cap and wood post) as a group and save it to my library, I can change my posts by picking it from the library, but I can't figure out how to save the three parts (base, cap and post) as a group to add it to the library. Is there a way to group several objects together and save them as one item in the program I have? Maybe I created my porch using the wrong technique to begin with?
