Hello All, I know this subject has been discussed but has CA Premier X13 improved the control of deck columns so the bases do not overhang the edge? For a concrete porch, it's easier to fix or show properly with drawing an additional slab. Just wasn't too sure best way to do it with a deck. I thought about doing the deck with no railings then manually adding the columns and beam but I'm not sure how to do the railing so it doesn't define the room. Any thoughts? Thanks for the help in advance.

This has indeed been considered at length.  A recent search will show this gets discussed usually weekly including in x13.  The general consensus is to make your railing wall wider without changing your railing size.  So if you want to offset your 4" wide railing by 2" you would make your railing wall 8" wide and your top and bottom rail would be 4"...
