Ed_Orum Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Can porch posts be placed or moved manually? I do not want them equally spaced but need to space them in relation to windows and doors. Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 If you do not like the symmetric spacing offered by the Railing Tool, then just make the existing "Newels" 1/16" think and assign "Opening No Material" to them. Then place the posts or columns of your choice and spacing from the Library Browser. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 In X12 you can now just turn the Newels off on the Rail Style Tab ( checkbox ) and place your own post from the Framing Menu. (set Default 1st if needed?) don't want the rail either ? make whole rail Invisible or uncheck the options in pic # 2 M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgardner Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Another trick if you don't actually use the railing but just want the posts is openings control placements of the posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VisualDandD Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 You can also "break" walls to set post placement. They sometimes revert back to a single wall and default spacing. One way to avoid this is to intersect with "invisible walls" and then "break" at the intersections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That method does work but in vector mode you get unwanted lines. Placing the doorways will allow it to be a continuous beam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
