dskogg Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I am designing a mexican casa and they put walls up around entire perimeter of lot. They use a conc beam at top and 3/4 up and conc piers and then fill in with brick. Any way i could add this band in the middle using a fence? Also if i want to add a gate but still want the wall to go over the gate how do i do this with a fence? Maybe i use a wall instead? The fence is convenient as i can spec post spacing and top rail. Any suggestions on best way to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 David, Is this the wall type you are after ? If so I have an Idea about the door I will try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Ok I think I would just build it as a railing wall with custom panel and then fill in over the door with p-solids and send in a suggestion to Chief Architect that unless there is a better solution then maybe some improvements could be made.

Joe_Carrick Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Use a Railing Wall (Post to Beam) with a "Panel" for the infill. In addition, you should eliminate all the rails except the Beam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe I found that ( Post To Rail ) seemed to build a better wall. I made a copy for ( Post to Beam ) and moved it to the foreground. Is this a bug in the new version ?

Joe_Carrick Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 No, I think it's just a matter of making the post and the beam larger (thicker) than the wall panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskogg Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 Thanks guys, so I need to make a fence panel a little narrower than my posts and build the fence panel with the tie beam 3/4 the way up, is this right? sounds like I will need a polyline solid above doors or gates in fence since ca will not allow the fence to go over a shorter door.

Yes that is about the extent of it and I was able to get Joe's ( Post to Beam ) settings to work properly by reducing the railing height by the thickness of the beam. Using the ( Post to Railing ) setting seems to do it automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
