Adding Structural Column Cross-Section Dimensions and Diagrams to a Schedule

I want to include the dimensions of structural columns and their cross-section diagrams (similar to bar bending details) in a schedule. Is there a way to add the column's cross-section image and dimensions directly to a schedule?

If I understand your intent correctly, you want somehow to include this data into a bar bending schedule along with Rebar elements hosted by these concrete columns? I don't think it is possible to achieve natively. You will have to create a separate Structural Column Schedule and report column sizes (width, height, radius, etc.) using Reporting (Shared) parameters. If you really require graphical cross section image, you can include Type Image & add it into your schedule

There is no automatic way of doing this like Rebar Schedules.

 

You could simply take an image from a Steel Manual for example, then within Revit in the Structural Column Properties in the Property Palette and under Image include this there but you would have to do this for all Columns or better Still Edit the Family Directly and add a Type Image for EACH Column Family Type

(you need a image with dims if required)

 

 

I would possible be more inclined to go down the route of adding it in the Schedule like below
