Extend Stair Rails at Wall ( Top &/or Bottom )

[Joe_Carrick]

This option in my Stair dbx is disabled in X13.  Does anyone know how to enable those options so that they can be edited?

handrails for public buildings - General Q & A - ChiefTalk Forum (chiefarchitect.com)

is a relevant thread.  That's how it should work.

Are you looking for this setting on the ‘Rails’ panel?

Hi Scott,

Yes, but mine is disabled.  Any idea why that would be?

Be sure to click on the ‘top rail’ in the dialog panel.  Then you should be able to check the ‘extend’ option.

Thanks Scott.

 

Now the only thing that needs to be fixed is the fact that the railing at the bottom should extend at the slope a full tread depth before becoming horizontal.  Check the referenced link to see what I mean.  This is a standard code requirement.  Only if the extension is greater than a full tread should the extension become horizontal at that distance.

Ok nice..... perhaps a Note could be added to the DBX Panel to make that more obvious?.

 

thanks,
