Wait, wait.. I am assuming that Scott was telling me a command that gives the polyline without getting in to the backlip crossection process . Am I right? you know, I some times not understand the tough English. Or else that method doesn't have any limitations for any type of crossection. .....OK I got it, it has that limitation and more.

Actually I lost that one. Is it only an x7 feature? or older versions too, if so I missed it.

"View section camera of the molding and make a cad detail of it, then connect the cad detail to be polyline and paste it back in to section view. After that, convert it to p solid with depth you like and make it a solid. It works with 2 or 3 extra clicks only comparrd to your assumed workflow." This what I was typing before I checked the new posts and seen that Joe posted it right.

+2 for Larry.

Thanks Mick, that is very important thread, you pointed out for any one needs to learn it.

Sure, that makes sense. Really cool logic, you said it more clearer.

Unchecking the 'post to rail' option allows it, if I am not missing some thing.

Wendy thank you very much, keep up the good work.

Thanks Wendy, this is very much helpful. Keep up the good work. +111.....

By the way I have posted in earlier thread on how that could be done. Just make the newels to have the size and spacing of your intended size of ballesters, and make the width of the normal ballesters ZERO. THAT is very helpful for various stair problems.

Thanks again, very nice.

There may be different ways to do that. One way is to use the ballesters of the stair it self and at the same time use the manual rail to show the newel by entering zero value to the bullester width not to be seen. An other way is to overlap a ramp parallel to the stair so it is exactly at the line between the threads and the waste of stair, so when a railing is set to follow stair, and there are a ramp and stair overlapped THE RAIL WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW THE RAMP, NO MATTER WHICH OF THE TWO IS UPPER OR LOWER. THE RAMP SHOULD BE SET NO RAILS AND WASTE THICKNESS 0, if you choose to use the later. But for this case I think glenn's method of converting the rail to wall and adjusting the top and bottom heights and again making it a rail will work best.

Assign the railing wall 'no locate', 'no room definitio'n and draw an other wall on it, that will avoid the replacement and allows both of them to occupy the same space. No need need to live with your user error, so please ask what to do, before............. Again you can put the door in place and undo the 'open underneath' since it works as you wanted.

Very nice of you. Thanks That is how chief make easy to develope ideas one after the other, until you decide the stage that best for what you wanted from your inside.

Rashid thanks for this inspiring pick. I like itit really.

Surprisingly my method and yours have 0% deviation and that is how I use it exactly. You left nothing for me to add even the number of personal archived files and I put them in the order of stage 1,2;stage 2 1.... And some times I have special folder for some unintended outcomes during work, that obvieously help for an other job. I call that files "ideas folder from PR x stage y....I said the same thing to yours in an earlier thread, I can't remember. This method some times would lead you get frustrated and put me in an endless ocean. But I suggest it, because it isn't only important to learn the programme but also let's you develope a natural understanding to architecture and design by default time after time.

David, thank you very much!! Many men are really grateful to your kindly treatments. You are so kind and encourager to all of us here. Thanks again for addressing my works as an example David.

Thanks bill, I am cureous the two methods are good as you say and complement each other. To get the initial startup boundaries one should use your method to predict the arrangements and limits of the drawing, but then since you can't snap it as you said you should use finally my method to get the tangency point smooth. I mean, after setting up the drawing limits you should just copy the ridge angle of the lower roof and paste it in the eave angle of the upper roof and again put half of the same number in to the roof pitch dbx and click OK ...done it. So the 2 of us are necessary to get a predictable roofs and smooth connections at the same time. thanks bill.

Bill, may be you didn't read carefully this post, yours is a graphical approximation of this concept.here I put one step and exact relation ship between the two (left and right )ones and the two (middle roofs). Read carefully how one's ridge angle is related to the other's eave angle. Open the plan and see the two options one(Four roof planes on the right side)Or some one who understands my broken English can interpret it. No need for trial and error, if you really get my point. So you see..... I won, but that isn't really why I am back tracking. It is very important to understand that concept.

OK nice mark, actually I wasn't around PC but exactly that was was what I meant. And one important thing to know here is, the ridge angle of the wings must be equal to the eave angle of the middle one. Also included the same roof done by 4 roof planes. The only difference is the pitched of the two roof planes in the middle will have a pitch equal to 1/2 x thier eave angle( the ridge angle of the wings). The cross check is also included in the plan for the formula. ell roof 1.plan

Scott is right, 3 arched roof planes can do it. The middle one flat but smoothly connected to the left an right wing which have relatively less radius of curvature compared to the middle one.

I was wondering if some one was trolling us, so that the strongly prohipted act of rudeness gets approval to continue..........this is totally a different issue.

Too early to critisize! I think this guy failed to imitate an honest frustrated newbee. But no matter what things you are hiding to show us. A good student comes up with some really nice critique after some hard work. I have a doubt what type of student this guy was.

Thanks, Mark & Joe for the help.
