Rock around supporting posts

[SteveBenton1]

How do you wrap a 4x4 post with rock on the bottom?

two posts is one way with the bottom post having rock material. I'm pretty sure CA has a video for vertically different columns. Look for "columns"

There are many ways to do this. I think the easiest work-around is to place your post manually however you want. Use the slab tool to make the rock base and make it as tall and wide as you want. Center the slab over the post. I usually do this in a blank plan and size the column to your specs. Take a vector overview and save it as a symbol. Use the symbol in your plan. For the post, if it has crown mold at the top and or trim pieces (moldings) that wrap around the post at different heights, then I'll usually make the post using a soffit tool for it works very well and you can add multiple moldings to it and adjust the height of each molding. So many ways to do this just depending on the look. I also call this a type of craftsman look.
