Setting up posts & Beams

Hi, welcome to this forum

have you already tried the basic shapes found in the Geometric Shapes library? I use this method from time to time, but it really depends on what you want to do with the objects later.

hint: first just place the library object in the drawing, then open the Edit dialog box and then set all the options you need. You may also drag the handles to get the desired size.
