SusanC Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Is there a way to draw the railing at the top of the portico other than placing it manually? I'm sure there is a way to do this, but I can't seem to locate a video or a thread in Chief Talk. Thanks, Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Did you try a balcony ? Looks like it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I am not sure that I understand the question. Isn't it just a Railing wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusanC Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 Yes, just a railing on top of a flat roof over an entry. I've figured out how to draw that - thanks to Chop Saw and another video. I'm trying to give a client different options on the railing design. Any tips on how to customize balusters into an "X" design, for example?

glennw Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Have you tried using a "Panels" railing type and then selecting from the many types of panels in the library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 If you don't find what you need in the Library you can draw your own Panels. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02893/creating-custom-balusters-and-railing-panels.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusanC Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Yes, I made the railing a "panel" and then went through the file for "Fences and Railing" and chose the diamond pattern. I noticed there is another file called "glass panels" that I was going to try next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
