... There's really is no reason why you would want that. Go up, build a gear assembly, then use horizontal axle to go 4 over. Besides consider it as a spinning length of wood, it should be going up only, it shouldn't be big enough to span multiple tiles.

Buildings cannot span multiple Z-levels.

 Quietust is correct: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=30026.msg831163#msg831163

"The main hurdle is the multi-z nature of such things, since all buildings currently reside on a single z level and the ramifications of that are quite pervasive [...]"

This isn't a bug. It's a feature that Toady has deliberately omitted for the time being.

The problem is that north-south (vertical on the DF grid) axles cannot be resized.

I'm not having any trouble resizing a N/S horizontal axle with the u/m controls.

N/S horizontal axle? How can you have a vertical horizontal axle?

 The building labeled "horizontal axle" is horizontal to the dwarves, i.e., parallel to the ground. Just build a couple of them with different orientations and it'll all make sense. A "vertical axle" is for transmitting power between Z-levels. Clear now? And don't call people "the peanut gallery," thanks.

Oh, whoops. I thought people were just being snarky.
