rwaldrondesigns Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I am working on these stairs and I want to have the look we can see on the open side, but a single wall handrail on the other side. I tried removing the rail on the balustrade side and drawing a rail, but that deleted my wall under the stairs, so I'm wondering if there is a better way. Pardon the imperfections- the design/drawing is not done yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwaldrondesigns Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Okay, I turned off the railing on the wall side here, because it was less distracting. I do want a railing on the wall though. I just don't want it to match the railing on the open side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwaldrondesigns Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Yes, I did try this- I can turn them off and on individually. I just want to make sure the left side is a different style than the right side. Like this image, except that I want the balustrade wall they show to stop at the stair tread.

Joe_Carrick Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Rachael, Probably the best way to do this is to create a full height "Railing Wall" in the plan (adjacent to the stairs) consisting of the vertical members (balusters) and make it "No Room Def" and "No Locate". Then move it into position. After that, select it in a Section/Elevation View and edit the shape to follow the stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 In this example, the vert's are a railing wall, like Joe mentioned. The tempered glass is a wall where the shape has been edited in Section View. That keeps them separate from the stair's railing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwaldrondesigns Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 Eric's got it for the most part- where you have the green railing in the second photo, I want there to be nothing. But, I DO want those taller balustrades.The way Joe and Rob show/describe puts the railing next to the stairs, not stopping at the tread, the way Eric has it.

Joe_Carrick Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Rachael, Once you have the taller balustrades positioned "on the stairs" vs "next to them" you need to display in elevation and edit the bottom up to the stairs. That will give you what Eric shows. It's just a matter of editing the Polyline created by the 3D wall editor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My example was an existing rendering from a previous project and was only meant to illustrate the technique / methods. It's very simple to drag those railing walls under the stairs, or drag the stairs over the wall. To edit the wall shape, take a section view of the wall from the stair side. That way you can edit the walls shape to the 'cross section lines' of the stair. If you'd like more specific help, zip and post your plan. Once you've accomplished it, please post some more images!

robdyck Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Here's my version of Rachel's stairs: and yes I have nothing else to do -2 landings at the bottom -p-solid for stringer/trim at wall (for correct grain direction) -p-solids for vertical members -added lights to represent light rail below the handrail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javatom Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 You could also use 2 stairs that are aligned for rise and run. Set one to have one rail type and the other to have the alternate rail type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javatom Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 This one took about 5 min. by using 2 stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
