gmdesigns45 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I am an interior designer working in CA x12 Interiors. I have watched many videos on staircases but cannot find information on a railing that sits on a stringer capping. I am designing the lower level of a split-level home and also am working on the staircase up to both upper levels. I need a staircase with a 7 baluster railing running into the wall halfway up the stairs to the 2nd floor. The railing needs to sit on a stringer capping rather than having open treads and risers. I can draw the angle with the wall for the railing to sit on and I can draw the railing, but cannot get the railing on the angle. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

GeneDavis Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Cannot help you solve it within the Chief stairs toolkit. I've never seen this done here. But solids will do all those elements atop the Chief-built stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmdesigns45 Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 Thank you Steve Nestor...great video. It worked exactly as the video shows and made it very simple. It is as the video explains a variation on a pony wall. Then I made a few adjustments to balusters and the top railing and it is done...in minutes!

GeneDavis Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Nice, Steve! Thanks. I'd never thought outside the box to use a pony wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice videos ( I just checked out one of your screened porch vids), excellent. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
