Adjust Top of Column elevation based on beam Underside elevation

How can I get a column length to adjust based on beams being set to an Underside elevation?

 

I currently have a beamline that has its elevation set to the Underside of beam. My column terminates at that level. I know I could do math based on my current beam height, etc and create a new level at my required TOC elevation, but this opens up the possibility for a project with multiple levels for every different beam height and elevation and this solution has no intelligence.

 

For the Base Plate, I can set an 'automatically shorten column'. I can't find anything that would correspond to change the column length.

 

NOTE:

Our shop does not use Advance Steel. We purchased one license for me to evaluate if we can switch our workflow. I do NOT know Advance Steel. I have about a week of self directed learning.

Perfect simple answer. Thank-you

 

Of course I tried extend and it would preview, but never apply. I suspect my janky workflow due to learning as I go have created some bad form 'issues'.
