i have a slab that steps down 5" and the drop cap that contours with that.  the way we do drop caps is to create a floor slab that's under the primary slab.  i know that there are families that has drop caps with the columns. 

does anyone have an easy solution to this?

 thanks!

I've done this...but it's not easy

you basically have to take the existing column with drop-caps family and split it in half.  You can still host the column to a level, but the portion that steps will be controlled seperately.

 

Are you good with editing families?
