I am sorry for the very bad composition of this image, but it is just a test 
to show what I am talking about. The red object is the original column base, 
the green object is obtained with a cylinder as inner shape. Not good yet, 
as I more or less expected. I tried with a scaled down copy as inner shape, 
but that was not satisfying either. Next, I want to try with an adapted copy 
of the original.

If you want to experiment, I attached the original inc file to this message.
