These pillars should be placed like any other 3D model.

Most work well when used with third party tiling materials. The round columns (under pieces) have been made with UVs placed so that a tiling material will wrap around exactly once; thick three high (3h) pieces will do so without distortion as the diameter and radius are the same, and the alternate four high pillars (4h alt) will do the same by wrapping the top quarter of the column to the lower third of the textures. Six unit high columns work like two three high columns. Thinner pieces will slighly distort textures, while pillar 03 will have more distortion. Caps, one-mesh whole pillars (including all non-round pillars), and pillar 03 work best with low detail, high-noise materials like stone.

Most pillars are very low poly, many under 100 triangles, most middle pieces are under 300 and all middle pieces and under 1k. The caps are similarly low poly, as are the single mesh capped pillars.

These are mostly for those looking to add some elegant round pillars to a low poly or stylized environment (rather than the square cross section ones typically packaged as stylized or low poly).
