Thanks It is not that difficult once you done one, but defiantly tedious work. Headed to the Keys for 2 weeks so the rest of the railings will have to wait. Building in these flood zones is a PITA.

Using solid to millwork and breaking the railing at the appropriate places I was able to do this.

Thanks Rene, you must have used some magic to create that.

The other thread for creating the Double top rail railing:

Thanks Rene, I'll revisit it.

I was able to get the main railing with the double top rail in another post. Tried you railing Rene but it did not come over correctly. Thanks for the gift though!

Before I dive into this railing & the 6 or 7 other railings around this house I thought I would ask. To get a double top rail with balusters I would have to create a symbol or mill work for that? To get the decorative panes I would need to do the same? And I would need to break the railing wall into segments to place the decorative portion in that wall.

Wow nice job! Just tried for the frst time & only the 2nd version from ChatGPT. https://chatgpt.com/s/m_6a09c42d17788191a3b10acc2368c3ea

That method does work. Thanks I did a bug report.

I'm attempting to "select similar" while using the LINE tool and holding the shift key and the "Select Intersection Objects" is active. The problem is that it selects Text & leaders too! Is this a bug?

Maybe this? https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/wired-glass-pbr-substance-material-0d7c5010451f4f00aea677f29e7135f3

Use solids, create a side & top panel. Copy & paste the sides, rotate into place & make into a single object, then copy 2 times. Make the frame a different material at the start.

Tech support suggested moving the thin wall slightly to auto align with the thicker wall. This did not work for me. I was able to turn temp dimensions off & zoom in very tight and point-to-point move the thin wall. That fixed the room table. You can see how small the misalignment was!

Joe, How do you deal with a wall type that has 3.5" sound insulation in it? The project I'm doing, small laser studio, has mostly insulated partitions. So I have a wall type for that.

Thanks Joe, I've messed with the 3 wall intersection with no luck. You solution will solve my problem.

Not all rooms do this? [Edit] I just sent it to tech support.

I would like the wall material to show only the material inside that room. Can that be done? The exterior walls display stucco which I do not want to see in the schedule.

I did this with added Mtext object. There are only 5 wall types in the plan.

That is what I'm up against. There seems to be no way around this limitation. i.e. limiting the wall comparison in the table. I suppose if you knew you way around material list one could tease out a similar table using that material list?

I have that checked for wall length & it produces the table above. I wanted to go one step further & use my formula to get 2 times the length to get drywall length. When I do that the table separates all walls and I get a very large table.

I wanted a simple wall table with an added field to show 2x the wall length for drywall length. But when I added this %(length / 12 * 2).round(2)% to one of the fields in each wall "object Information" the table displays all walls as line items. Is there a way to do this and keep the simple table?

I'm sure you had to do a lot if work to get that macro to work properly. Mine is adequate for me even if I have to manually enter the overhang amount. I draw a polyline to get the total length even though it will not work in all cases. Thanks for your input.

OK Thanks
