sweetmelissa Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 If I use the "straight glass pony wall" type in the bathroom, the glass portion doesn't go to the ceiling and I can't figure out how to adjust the overall height of the wall. I can place a regular interior wall (which goes to the ceiling automatically) but then I have to define it, make all the adjustments, etc. Anyone want to tell me how to adjust the height of the "straight glass pony wall" to save me time?! Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 adjust the shower wall exactly how you want it ,then save the wall to the lib. for future use. The materials can always be changed later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I make an interior wall a pony wall and put it in place, I then have to go get rid of the crown molding it put across the top of it! Ugh.

sweetmelissa Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Actually, I've made the situation better. If I go unclick railing in the "straight glass pony wall", it extends it to the ceiling. Problem 1 solved. I still have to get rid of the crown molding.

sweetmelissa Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Sorry, I keep answering my own questions. Well, in case it helps anyone else... when I click on "no room moldings exterior/interior" my molding problem is solved. Whoo hoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetmelissa Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Now, that I look, neither the pony wall or the shower glass/door wall is supposed to go to the ceiling... which seems logical. Back to my original problem. Don't mind me while I fumble around here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgardner Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 If you want to the Ceiling non railing wall Less than full height equals railing and you can set the height by setting the railing height which is on top of the pony wall height so if you want it to 80” and your pony wall is set to 42 80-42=38” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 You can also set a lot of things up by setting the rooms up in the default rooms dbx. set up a shower room, no moldings, tile floor. etc. Then just name the room and done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetmelissa Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 I haven't had to learn about railings/half walls to this point (which is crazy since I started this a little over 2 years ago). I found a video "stacking railings to create a glass shower enclosure" which shows basic steps. Thanks for your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HE JUST PULLED THE WALL DOWN!!! Oh my gosh, that is so much easier and quicker than modifying a pony wall/rail to achieve the exact same thing! Thank you for taking the time to post this for me!!! A power user I am most definitely not! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgardner Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 1 hour ago, sweetmelissa said: Although that is a method to do it, I will be honest and this is one thing I disagree with Steve about. In certain cases it is okay to modify those walls in elevation views it is extremely rare and only if you know what you are doing. I would highly recommend you look at rene’s way of doing it instead as I would say that 90%of the time not only should you not pull the wall manually but it causes other issues.

sweetmelissa Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 I understand your point. For my application in a simple bathroom, it works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an FYI if you see issues with the ceiling in this one or other bathrooms you use that method it will most likely be the culprit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
