Adam_Gibson Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Does anyone know the best way to get a cable rail's top rail to display correctly? It's always bothered me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Is that not the same problem as a regular railing? You just need to make your Stair Newel taller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 When using the cable I always have made my own with a molding or poly solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Use a molding polyline and add as many rails as you want and space them as you need all on one polyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Ain't this interesting. We have cable railing and nobody can use them. I experienced the same thing recently. I thought it was me being dense..... geez...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 The problem is that you are using a "panel" for the rail. A panel is designed to fit between the newels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam_Gibson Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 I should have explained better. I want the railing (of my choosing) pass over the newels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 A 3D Molding Polyline might work ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUSMC Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Im having the same issue. I have changed my railing / balusters to cable but they insert themselves perpendicular to the rail versus in line. I think Im lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Yes Rob, The cable railing must be used in place of the Panel. I had the same problem at first and will check when I get back to my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
