Yes. In the column's family file, select two planes that intersect each other. In the properties dialog box, check "defines origin". That intersection will be the new insertion point.
Ok, since I am working on creating my first models, i have to tread lightly on modifying families. Will I be modifying the instance of the rectangular column in my project? I don't want to affect rectangular column insertion points on future columns.
Then, do not modify the origin in the family. Just align the face of the column in the project to a grid line or reference plane and lock it.
