gmdesigns45 1 Posted February 3 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 154 Posted February 3 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gmdesigns45 1 Posted February 3 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! GG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeneDavis 154 Posted February 3 Nice, Steve! Thanks. I'd never thought outside the box to use a pony wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
