Beams and pillars

Hi, I wanted to know basically:

In my building I have pillars and columns, and I'm not sure how they are projected in Sketchup or how they are introduced. I do not know if it is possible to create a subsurface (pillar) in Sketchup on top of another surface (outer wall) and then write the construction of the pillar in Openstudio. would it be correct?

How else can it be represented?

Thanks
