Loft floor is showing on top of wall

[jgauntz]

I have a loft and the flooring for the loft is showing through the wall or is on top of the wall .  Is there a setting to stop this from occurring?

Not exactly sure what you mean, but you have some kind of polyline solid on the first floor that is the concrete material.

Build it like in the Real World that trimboard sits on the plywood ( subfloor)  not on top of the flooring............

If only we could give the bottom rail a negative value for 'raised from floor'...

There is one trick that may work - depending on the situation.

You can't change the bottom height of a rail.

So...this is probably easier to do in a cross section view.

Select the rail and uncheck Specify Railing - make it a normal wall.

Adjust the bottom height to suit.

Change it back into a railing.

Adjust rail heights, etc.

The OP wasn't using the Bottom Rail , in fact it could be turned off in this plan, hence my suggestion to just lower the P.Solid to the Real World height.

Yeah, your suggestion was fine, I saw that it was a p-solid, I was just saying if only we could lower the bottom rail then wouldn't have to create a separate p-solid.

Ah yes.. that might do it.  Did you try it?

You can use a ponywall too.

True... I just did that recently as a matter of fact.

Yes it works fine , this is the trick to do Fascia Mounted Railing - Search the Topic and you'll find post from me and glenn ...and others about it.

Oh...?  I thought I saw that post and it required doing a double wall with an invisible inner wall or something like that.  I'll have to have another look.

There are two methods , the double wall approach allows for better two post corners etc and was discovered more or less by accident by Doug(?) while trying the method Glenn posted a couple of years ago. Pretty sure I posted sample Plans for others in a couple of those threads for other to look at.....
