CA4Ever Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Hi, I need to create a decorative railing wrapping around the windows. How can I accomplish this in Chief Architect? Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I am not suggesting that this is the same style but you could try this one in Sketchup's 3D Warehouse or search a little more but there are some repetitive features that I see and theoretically you could build one in Chief but it would take some time. The benefit would be you get exactly what you want. Any way to install such a feature I think a symbol would be best. https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/7f4e7a8cc39921ee35b3d63776480dcf/European-Faux-Balcony-8-offset https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search.html?q=balcony rail&backendClass=both Maybe someone has one they would share ?

DavidJPotter Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I Chief one could make such a thing from 3D molding poly-lines, not all that easy or hard but doable. Sketch Up could also be used or as Chopsaw suggests perhaps you might find something usalbe at 3D Warehouse where Sketch Up users share their produce. Personally, I would look there first and if no Joy then I would make my own in Chief. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbird1 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 if you don't need that exact one there are a couple of balconies in the Bonus Exterior Attachment Library too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much, that will be help, but I am still trying Solver's method. Much appreciated all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmejerry Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 If you want to use a rail that somebody else created instead of making your own baluster, there is something similar in the link below. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/11934-custom-deck-railing-question/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider downloading the X9 trial. bowed rail.plan Hi Solver, I used your attached plan, the problem is I can't move the rail up since but it does not have the elevation reference. My arch window is 3' by 2' and the top of window is 7' above the finish floor. I would be fine as I applied balcony in the Bonus Exterior Attachment Library.
