Apparently Home Designer Architectural 2025 does not have an option to convert railings to anything. It opens the object as a "Deck Railing Specification" and I could not find any method to change that. I doubt this makes a difference, but I am using the trail version. Based on this lack of ability to make round/polygon rooms/structures, it will most likely remain remain 'trial version'. :\ Please do correct me if I have overlooked something.

Revit has a 'Precast' tab/module. Can't say much about it since I do not have that application, but it's easy to find search results for that one. And yes, I agree it would need to go through real architects/engineers (as opposed to a DIY like myself) for any real construction drawing value. I was just wanting to play around drawing stuff.

Good to know, thanks for responding. My hesitation is by manually defining it (a precast wall), I'm probably not going to get a lot of build details like rebar, structural connections, etc. like I would if I was using a professionally drawn library. But that might not be true either. Don't know since I don't actually have the program yet. I might go ahead and get the trial version and see for myself. Thanks again for responding.

I do not have this application yet. I'm just an individual who wants to play around with drawing a house, but I want to be able to use pre-defined wall types of precast concrete wall panels. I could not find any reference to this wall type on the CA site or via Google. Does Chief Architect have precast wall panels in it's library? TIA
