I am having a hard time building a pergola.  I am assuming the easiest method is using polyline solids to represent posts and rafters.  But I am not sure is there are easier ways to create the end cut details.  I have been doing it all with lines to generate the ends that I want but then I can't duplicate it on the other side.  There must be an easier way

Is there a way to add lighted post caps to existing newel posts on a deck?  I found the lighted post caps but I can't seem to attach them to the newel posts.  Also, is there a way to draw a full newel post at the wall instead of half post?  Do I need to get rid of default rails and draw my own railings using railing tool?

Are am having a hard time adding casing around a skylight on a sloped ceiling.  I have tried molding polylines but I can get them get the mitres to stay together once i adjust the z position to get them up the slope
