ChiefuserMathews Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Is it possible to create a wall type as attached in the image?. This is for a roof top patio partition wall. Could some one guide me please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I think that particular setup would be best illustrated by building it as a panel railing system. Build a panel in as much detail as you like in 3D to scale and convert to a millwork symbol. You can also do the same for the newel post that can even include the mounting bracket and concrete footing if you like. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02893/creating-custom-balusters-and-railing-panels.html Let us know how it works out.

rgardner Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Looks like a tall panel railing with a middle rail to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you understand the options you will see how this might be done. Hi Eric, I tried reading and could not succeed. I could not get the glass panel with the middle rail, as well as the bottom as what you have shown. Could you please provide me some tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I tried that could not proceed. Hence i was trying what Eric has drawn. Thats exactly what I am interested in. But I dont know how to achieve that. That's why it took me a while to respond back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why it took me a while to respond back. I believe Eric did a simplified version of exactly that as a demonstration. Did you take a look at the tutorial ? Where did you get stuck ? You can only go about this far with the automatic tools : No such thing as a middle rail option using an automatic panel, at least not yet... We have been hoping for a while now. Modeling your own panels allows you to include details like the assembly bolts if you like and that custom drop panel in the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefuserMathews Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Thank you very much for your reply. This is what I could get. But I don't know how Eric managed to add that middle rail. Let me try one more time to see if I could get close what you have shown. Thank you very much for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgardner Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Probably best to make a custom panel. But a quick way to get what you want would be this way. This is an 80" paneled railing with a molding line for the middle rail. Took about 90 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 There's a better than good chance that you're going to want to use the "open with middle rail" option so that you can see beyond the railing in elevation view...I'd use a molding or a solid to represent the glass, on its own layer of course.

robdyck Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 You manually draw the molding use cad tools. Launch 'Help' search for "molding". https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/#playlist-98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
