Hi all,

Please see image: 

Generally newel post s are either inside or outside of the rim joists.  In the rail dbx, we can offset the newels, but then the balusters and rails are wrong.  What's the fastest way to resolve this?  Thank you, 

Barry

I thought there was a general offset setting for this???

 

Nope , it has always been this way in Chief  and why there are numerous Threads on Fascia Mounted Railings , GlennW came up with the invisible layer Offset , 2-3 years ago , at least that was when he shared it in a thread of Mine but there was a recent Thread on this too, about a month ago , see below.

 

The "Offset" setting is for those times you want the Rails to pass over the Posts  , not in-between them.
