Railing Breaking/Cutting Weird in Loft.

[proformacon]

Have this built like a 1.5 story with loft. Cannot figure out how to get these railing to angle correctly. I assumed it has something to do with invisible walls I used on the sides of exterior for the half story but changing them makes no difference. Plan inside onedrive attached if anyone can help figure it out. Client wants exposed rafters like it's set up.

Here is a workflow that may work for you:

 

1. Select the Railing, make it "normal" wall, and make it Invisible. This leaves you with just the loft edge.

 

2. Draw a new Straight Railing back in the room somewhere, away from the deck edge. Draw it to the length of the loft edge.

 

3. Shoot a Full Camera, select the Straight Railing, and then use the tool Convert Selected to Symbol.

 

4. Insert the new Symbol and move it into place.

Quite a few other issues on this but your railing is because of how you have your room setup.  Setup the loft story as 1.5" Ceiling height (your 2x toe plate the rafters will actually build off of or set on.  Then select the railings and set them to balloon through ceiling above in the structures panel.

Amazing, appreciate that a lot. The other issues I’m always ears for advice. I changed a lot trying different things to get the railing to stop breaking which I’ll have to run through and change back or fix.
