Sweep Hatch

[Batman]

I am attempting to add engaged piers to a masonry wall which has a hatch.

When I add a vertical sweep, as the pier, the hatch for the sweep ends up at a different orientation and origin.

After I adjust the hatch to match the wall it is joined to and then copy the sweep/pier the hatch on the copied objects revert to the previous orientation and origin??????

Why????

Is there a setting to keep the hatch the right way?

Is this the best way to do engaged piers?

Can you make the engaged piers using architectural columns ?

I could, the hatch seems to behave differently.

It applies at the correct orientation, that is as per the joined wall, but there doesn't seem to be any seperate control of the hatch on the column. It displays the hatch as per the wall. If you grab the hatch while in the column (elevation view) it moves the column but leaves the hatch relative to the wall.

Any ideas?
