cjanderson66 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I am sure this is an easy question but I am having a hard time figuring it out. As you can see from the screen image, I have a stair that continues up to a landing and at the landing it is showing my newels. I do not want the newels post showing at the top of the landing only at the bottom and the top of the stairs. Is there a way to do this? Also, I want the wall below the stairs to align with the wall above but I want it to be continuously solid to the floor above all the way to the post. I have tried breaking the wall in a section view but that does not seem to work. One other thing is that the railing is not showing up on the plan view and yes the railing is on in the plan view. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryOhmer Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 To remove the railing on the landing - click on the edge of the landing that is the problem - open object and click on "no railing on selected edge" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAWZILLA Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 For no newels at the top set all newels to "0" then add them manually wherever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 CJ If you would like to eliminate the Newel post in the center of the stairs, just increase your Newel spacing until it disappears. It looks like you are using X9 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like you are using X9 ? Thanks Chopsaw, looks like I got the newels taken care of it is just a matter of making that wall go all the way to the ceiling and covering up the post and eliminating the rail from the post on back. Also the main topic is that the tailing is not showing up on my plan view. I have the stairs, rails and ramps layer on but somehow the railing on the plan does not show up.

Chopsaw Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 If I am understanding correctly you will want to turn off the auto railing from the stair DBX and draw a short manual rail up to that structural post. Then you will have to mess with the wall position until it fills in. I think there is a video on how to wrap the stairs around a wall like that. I will look for you. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/390/stair-wall-options-partial-railing-wall-under-stairs-stairwell.html?playlist=89 This should allow you to keep the auto rail if you can position the wall correctly.

Chopsaw Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Have you set up your Railing Plan Display in the Newels/Balusters tab of the Staircase Specification DBX ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked at the Stair DBX 100 times and I don't know how I missed that. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjanderson66 Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Thank you all for your help in answering my questions. I have finally made the change that AI was looking for and with some help from http://davidmichaeldesigns.com/ and his never ending list of videos on YouTube. This one for example was what I was trying to do in the beginning and knew I had seen it somewhere. Here is his video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Very nice CJ, And also a railing wall cap to go with. Great video by DSH in X3 and still a great one. We all keep learning workarounds. Maybe some day Chief will learn what we need. Thanks, Chop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
