Hi @nia98bim,

If the columns are axis-aligned the solution @sovitek can be a good approach I think.
But if the columns are rotated/slanted the Dynamo graph in the link below might help you in the right direction (this is more related to the info provided by @jacob.small).

Hello @nia98bim

I have a graph that makes sections and planviews for columns, adds dimensioning and annotations, rotates the views, etc.

It is based on this post:

My dyns for create/annotate, dimension sections, dimension planviews:
08_1_Stützen_Ansichten_erstellen.dyn (1.1 MB)
08_2_Stützen_Ansichten_Bemaßung.dyn (493.4 KB)
