Problem with Deck Railing Cuttting Wall Surface

[WoodlandDesign]

Hello all.

I am having a very strange problem with the deck railing wall function.  As you can see in my screen capture the deck railing is 'cutting' the exterior wall surface material leaving a void.  This is where it get interesting:  It only does it where the LEFT deck railing meets a wall not on the RIGHT!

I have tried many things including rebuilding the walls, using the Edit Wall Intersection function, changing the lock wall function, etc.  I am scratching my head and don't understand what I'm missing or if this is a common glitch of the program.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance

 

 

Picture on left shows problem.  Same railing on right, no problem?

You can fix that by using the "edit wall intersection " tool. Just back it off the wall you want the stucco on.

I have used this tool and pulled the railing wall back and the stucco wall back MANY times to no avail...

It seems like something is overriding this function but I don't know what it would be.

Thanks

I guess it depends on how you build those walls. I will sometimes combine 2 walls into 1 wall but one of those walls needs to be a no room definition.

That's it! 

I changed the railing to 'no room definition' and it solved the problem.

 

Thanks so much for the quick assistance Perry.  Have a great holiday weekend.

Post script.

 

Actually the floor went away with no room definition but no locate brought it back.

I guess you did not do the 2 wall method but all ok.

I don't think I know what you mean with a two wall method.  Is it something worth spending time on now for future situations?

you must have used p-solids for the lower railing ,I guess, sometimes I will have a solid railing and need a w.i. railing on top or fill in a space with railing and you can't have two walls in one space unless you make one wall a non-def. wall.

I think I know what you mean.

 

I pulled the wall from the floor below up to reach the desired height on this floor.  I don't know if it's the correct way to do it or not but it allowed me to place the railing at the desired height.
