I want to add some structural columns to my revit model. I found some but they're all architectural, they don't come up in structural columns. I would appreciate some families I can use or other resources to look.

Revit provides a set of structural families. Have you tried Insert > Load Autodesk Family? Then search for Structural Columns > Concrete.

Load families from Structural Columns folder, not Columns folder.

Thanks to @ToanDN and @Alfredo_Medina, I found out that I was missing the default revit families, installed them but sadly they didn't have what I needed. So I resorted to third party websites, specifically revitcity where I found structural column with a drop panel. I just set the drop panel dimensions to zero and used it as a typical column.

You don't see the Insert > Load Autodesk Family option on the ribbon? Those are the default Revit families, even if you don't have them installed in the typical folders.
