ajrare Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 How do you best get the cable rail look? Have attached deck railings, and for whatever reason the rail seems to be perpendicular to what I want. Please help, and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I do all my cable railing completely manual using molding polylines. This way I can space my cables exactly how I want. You'll probably get several answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 You should probably post your plan. My best guess is that you changed your stair baluster symbol into the cable railing instead of creating a panel style railing and changing the panel symbol into the cable railing.

TSarantopulos Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Yes panel. But it doesn't work with spiral staircases. I'd like to apply cables to spiral staircases like the image attached. Also shows the result in CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 So I guess in the real world, you wouldn't use cables as they won't follow the curve. You would need to use solid round rod which would have to be curved to match the stair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my take looking at the 1st pic........ but you can make a ROD Panel in Chief using the Cylinder Polyline Solid Tool. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
