Glass Fence Wall

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.

Let us know how it works out.

I'd start on the Chief website reading about railing walls. 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?

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.

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.

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.
