Please advise!

If I were modeling that I would create a cutter volume and array it around the corners of the column component and then use Subtract from the Solid Tools or better, Subtract from Eneroth Solid Tools or Difference from Bool Tools 2 to remove the bits I don’t want.

BTW, I would suggest that you leave the model axes visible and keep your model closer to the origin. In my example I set up my column centered on the origin as this gives me an easy to idetify centerline for the column.

You are super skilled!!! Thanks! I am trying to redo the front of this place for the historic district people and the rear is modern. Agreed on the axes visibility. I turned them off when I was trying to see the joint. Thanks again
