islandog Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 H Im probably overlooking something really simple but after 2 hrs I thought I would ask. i Im trying to add a bottom rail to a staircase and in the staircase specification tab i don't see the Railing panel as it shows below. Goes right from Breakline to Newels/Balusters Thanks in advance JimS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Isn't it right there see "include bottom rail" and check it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 He doesn't have that tab Perry on his lower staircase ....sorry no idea why here , would probably be best to attach the plan and let someone look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbird1 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 what version are you using? I assume it is not Chief X9 ? ( you haven't filled out your Signature, see mine for a how to...) this is my Staircase DBX..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 My guess is that it's because you are using X8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandog Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Yes version 8. The first screen shot I sent was from the reference guide in the help section in version 8. I would think it would associate the correct version when using the help guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 That's really odd. I just tried Help->View Reference Manual and it gave me the pdf for the X8 Reference Manual with the correct stair dialog. I can't explain how you might have gotten the wrong version. You may want to try an uninstall/reinstall or you may want to contact tech support. The bottom line is that you won't have all of those stair tools in X8. You might want to consider going to X9 and if you have SSA it should already be in your digital locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
