You need to create a family, you have a couple of options:

1.  Create a single family with all the geometry

2.  Create two families.  One for the concrete base nested into the steel-column family.

 

Do you know how to create/edit families?

Why don't you just place seperate columns? 

 

Or are you just protecting the base of a steel column with a concrete surround?

Can you just used the 'isolated foundation' function after placing the column?
