Revit won't be able to tell the lines are colums so you'll have to measure them individually and because they are sloping you'll need to create your own families. If you need more help then post a picture of what you are trying to create.

allan,

if the columns are drawn in 3d in autocad...just export out to ifc and then import via ifc...you might get the whole column...

I really want this to work...some good things some bad
