Welcome to the forum! Secondly my friends said it enough about the issue . the learning curve in general has two stages, stage one is the time you think you have not enough skill and you are ready to learn by reading, watching videos, asking questions about the things you don't know.it is the stage you ask any one for help thinking that you have lesser skill, and ofcourse this stage is very fast and funny. And I can assure you, you will do a job that you don't expect your client gets satisfied to an extent that surprises you. It is months, may be 2 - 3 for some body that has such a great confidence as I see the OP. Stage two is the dangerous stage, where we start to believe we have enough skill and start to be shy to ask and learn from others, it is the stage we feel offended when some one corrects us. It is the time our EGO gets fattened by the little skill we gained in stage one and start to kill our talent by own hands. Mind you, it is too slow and we start putting our selves in a place that we wouldn't be, if we were able to watch out this dangerous 3letters. If some one here has got rid of it, I would appreciate and really seek advice from him. All I can tell you is to watchout and fight continuously the EGO inside us to learn..... Thanks

Mick you are right, so far I was unsuccessful to upload files directly, but it is success today. I installed a working browser. I don't know why. Thanks C W OPTION 2.plan CORNER WINDOW AND GLASS.calibz

Mick Here is also an other corner window style, specially this one is similar to former used style using pass thru window. the difference is, it doesn't need to change plan default setting and the invisible exterior room. I attached the symbol in .calbz form and sample plan containing it. https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0BxgCyu8dBKtcWlJaNm92N0dRczg/edit

Michael, thank you very much. I just play with it, and it makes things as we want them. Chief is unpredictable amazing program.

Lew thanks, mick has has explained it much better than I could do it. Mick, thank you very much.

I have created some corner windows, any one interested can to his library assigning names for left and right assignation from the plan attached. Not perfect but it may be good for 3d view. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxgCyu8dBKtcaGNlS1U4d2l4WUU/edit?usp=docslist_api If any one needs one with specific dimns, I will create it for you. Thanks

Mick here is the step by step procedure of my method in an earlier thread, thought it will helphttps://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/4602-deck-railing-with-balusters-above-low-wall/#entry39876

Mick "We the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing" just kidding, here is the plan, https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxgCyu8dBKtcSnhFZ3FsSEc3ek0/edit?usp=docslist_api Here is the video Hint:- don't miss to display the z , when viewing the plan.

Thanks graham, did I state the already said? Your English is a bit tough for me to understand. It is my 99th language, most people here knows that and takes care. Any way thanks.

Here is my take on the issue, an other example for any one interested, I tried to create the curve with smooth transition at the point it meets the straight one. https://youtu.be/RTn1xDLQ1mg

My take is just create broken ramp to be the virtual control platform around the deck and around stairs, so that the rails follow the ramp, the unseen capability of chief is the most effective ones as I always state.

Please, post at least some images of what exactly you would like to see added. Who knows? Some one may do it what you need. chief is unpredictable as you know.

Well, I can not insist there is no bug. chief's behaviour is volatile in most of it's operation, while it is again what makes up its beauty. A lot of ways to do, but the broken ramp is the most stable way as we have discussed in an earlier thread.

Curt, it works also for the room divider! Simply the same way as I explained above.Thanks curt for thinking of more perfect way to do it. Here goes chieeef!

Bryce, have you followed the post #10 explanation?I don't think those weird things occur and I am not directly using a break but crossing invisible wall, This is my thought on bill's yet unanswered homework , may be he will explain a different and easier way. Any way thanks bill for sharing this good thing. Here is a video if any one needs more clarification.

Perry, draw three parallel invisible railing walls at rondom interval, then draw a normal railing that crosses the former three. 4 segments of railings are resulted, but the most important point here I think is you can drag the invisible wall to both +x and -x so that the corresponding newel moves with it, and nothing disturbs like when you break the wall and not change the property of one in the structure tab, then it joins back after clicking that wall during work. Even if you change the property of one of the walls you need two steps to move the break to where you want. Bill's way is soooooo easy that you simply drag the invisible wall to position newels. Hope I did not state the obvious bill, before testing it I thought it was simple but not just an easy task to figure out quickly. Thank you very much bill

Bill that is very nice, I didn't test it because PC is a bit far, but hope the magic is the point that the invisible wall intersects the railing automatically gives a newel at that point! Really nice trick. I think I won the gold.

Manually enterning points to plan seems to me a tedeous job, not sure but most likely your application can let you get your data in .xls format. if that can happen, it is easy to copy selecting the columns containing the #,x,y,z, description, then copy paste it in notepad and then simply import the text doc by choosing the tab dillimated option in the import terrain data wizard. That is what I always do by exporting data from "global mapper" to vector format and easily create my terrain in chief by importing the terrain of a very large area for some works.

Ken, thanks and glad it helped you.

"Movavi" nice screen capture software. Try the demo to see it.

Thanks lary and bill for the complements.

Here is my take too. Not offending, just additional example to any one interested. https://youtu.be/Mbonpxn_ULs

Thanks Jon. one interesting property of this corner window is, when you tick the "system to supply a rectangular casing" in the symbol spc dbx you see the casing on both windows automatically. But the annoying thing is that I don't know why chief assigns the glass material to the casing and seems it can't be assigned casing material independently. The issue of framing, I think has no problem in accordance to chief's internal assumsions.it is the engineers task as for detail calks.in our area we use concrete structural framing and no problem to construct it. But since I am the structural engineer too, I understand timber structures and not difficult as such to apply struts and ties to support it. I don't know exactly but this issue was raised by a similar thread earlier. This is just to remind the areas that need improvements in relation to this topic. Thanks

Thanks Micky glad if that worked. I created it from a combined 3d molding p lines. I am working on creating more generalized symbol that every one will use it easily.

I bet this is the easiest way with it! once you create the symbol, it is simply a window and not a big deal. I think the symbol creation and placement needs advanced techniques. I think people got confused on the concept, simply hope that helps. Attached the link of the plan that contains the window. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxgCyu8dBKtcanZpYTMzWUxtdWs/edit?usp=docslist_api
