Christina_Girerd Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I'm trying to input an existing staircase for an odd historic home. I want to get rid of the railing on the left side of the staircase for just the first two sections which I crossed out in the image, but leave the third/top section left railing. I looked in the manual about trying to use the break tool and complete break tool, but when I tried it I kept getting odd mini-stairs etc. I've never had to do this before and I'm really surprised there isn't a way to select one section of stair and adjust the railings per that segment, just by using the stair spec dbx. I don't need this enough I will bother to post the plan, but mostly just curious if I missed some easy way to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPDesign Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I wonder if the sections against the wall are touching the wall? Try turn railing at wall off. Leave the left railing on. Also have you tried checking "ignor sub sections" ? Not at my computer currently, will test later. It may be an option to draw the upper section from the 2nd floor down using alt key. Adjust manually from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPDesign Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 HI Christina, I got it to work from the bottom up. Sample attached. I think the problem is the lower sections are not touching the walls and the "turn railing off at wall" is not turned on for those 2 sections. railing-test-stairwell.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina_Girerd Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 Thank you - got it working now! The wall not touching was one of the issues and your comments for the sections worked too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
