JJohnson Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Is there any way to get newels to go all the way to the bottom of the top half of the top rail, or am I stuck with adding 4x4 posts. I understand why the program is drawing this way. Help yourself to the baluster, and top rail molding if wanted DecKorators Baroque Balusters.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwideziner Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Have not done balusters for a while and not at m/c to test, but can you not set the baluster and rail height seperately. you would not be able to use the post to rail check box.

Chopsaw Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Yes Graeme's method works fine. P.S. If you make a baluster into a millwork symbol then you can auto apply it in the Railing DBX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what about the gap in the top rail at the corners, I may have it now, changed the top rail to 2x4 on edge at 40.5", checked post to beam, made beam 2 x 6, and dragged that down to 42" Now I have what a carpenter would more likely build in my opinion. I think adding the balusters to the library and auto placing may not face mount them on the 2x4 rails like I need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 JJ, I have used the beam method before in X8 and dropped the room height to 42" but it got me into a whole lot of trouble with the adjoining building that gave tech support fits. Let me play for a bit and see what works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 JJ, This may be the best solution for now, to use a panel and draw a psolid top rail. JJ Railing Panel Filler.calibz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 In X9, you will be able to include top and bottom rails with panel symbols. This should make creating this style of railing a bit easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermot Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Quote I am sure X9 will have the capability to create custom panel railings on curved stairs. Not exactly. You will be able to use straight custom panels on stairs in X9. The ability to curve a custom symbol panel while sloping it to follow a stair is highly unlikely to be available in X9.

I have said it here and 1000times in this forum for many Years.... And Deaf ears. This time you and Scott Harris will pay for it. I am not joking, nor am I going to teach ya for free this time!! Teach what? Your codes!! To make what? The capability of curving straight panels and at the same time sloping and follow stairs!! will you pay for this? Well If you can't pay. Then go figure. Initially I was just giving pointers. I didn't want to confront, but you programmers undermine users. See..ha..ha. You guys at chief got in to the trap this time,though I didn't intend to confront, but again I know without confrontation you are not probably welcoming user suggestions. Thanks in advance.
