Spectrum-Design Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I can't seem to get my stair railing to have a post at the top tread. Am I missing something, or would this have to be drawn manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Connect to platform railing for post and adjust with doorway opening size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 From the image, it looks like your stair thinks it is connected to a railing at the top. When the stair is connected to a railing, the railing usually makes the post, not the stair. Since there is an obvious gap in your railing, I would first try to fix this and see if you can line up the railing post where you want it. You can always manually place posts but I don't think you should need to in this case. If all else fails, post your plan or contact tech support for additional help.

Ridge_Runner Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I usually place them manually unless I just need a quick view. I find I have much better control that way and can customize the newels and location to whatever I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum-Design Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 That is how I would typically do it, but I specifically don't want the deck railing post to be the stair railing post in this instance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum-Design Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Okay, here's my second attempt. I made a new railing section that is horizontal on my top stair riser. The 'newel' at the front of the top riser is a 3D solid. Is there a way to get my stair rail to stop at the front of the top tread? Thanks in advance all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 No that is not yet possible. Give it a try with a Straight railing set to "Follow Stairs". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum-Design Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Drawing a rail to "Follow Stairs" did the trick. Thanks Chopsaw! And everyone else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not usual , at least not here, for the top Tread to be flush with the Deck like that, so that is why I think the Program is a "little" confused..... If you built the deck in that shape the deck railing would of gone around the staircase "bumpout" and the solid wouldn't be needed I don't think. M.
