3D line plot (x,y,z axis)

Is there a way to plot a line using cartesian or polar coordinates?
I have a set of data points (x,y,z) that I would like plotted either as different lines or different columns/cylinders. For instance, at the x,y location, a column/line with height z. The red arrows in the attached image shows sort of what I'm looking for, except I want it around a circle, not square.

I tried using the 3D line, 3D column & 3d cylinder, but it's not very flexible when working with a 3rd axis. Is this possible, or would I have to resort to another language?

I can successfully plot a plane with the 3 coordinates and that's almost what I'm looking for. It would be easier to visualize it with bars going from z=0 to z=some number. It works really well in Matlab .
