Rectangular Column - Corner Aligned

The corner aligned column command draw column edges aligned to axes, whatever are the column deltas in column settings. The column node is located at the corner of the column (initially at the upper left corner). The axes pass through the corner of the column. The Corner Aligned column command has been developed to draw such columns easily without needing to enter the column settings to make delta adjustments.
