ACADuser Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 Same house the railing does not work properly. Using Glass panels from the core catalog I get additional vertical lines @ about 42" oc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why would you use those? Just use a solid panel and change the material to your preferred glass type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glass wall isn't structural in Chief's mind. Even changing it won't get the right effect. The real problem is that Chief doesn't let us decide if the top or the bottom is the main wall type. The pony wall tool simply isn't flexible enough...it never has been. To be honest, I'd suggest you use windows. You'll need some manual modeling either way.

ACADuser Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 Thank you Robert! I'll see if I can implement those method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 There's other options as well. You could use a solid railing wall (Stucco 6) and then add a molding for the glass. This creates clean transitions above / below the glass. A bit of Manual modelling isn't any more work than screwing around with 'default' settings that are difficult to figure out and control and aren't designed to build what you have in mind.

robdyck Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I believe using windows will create a bit of a headache as the corner post option will turn itself on repeatedly even when all windows have it unchecked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 That looks great. I did have the window issue in the last house. The corner connection has a mind of it's own. Later.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 With a molding, or even a symbol, you can add spacers, beveled edges, flex joints, etc. If you feel like going that far. In this example, I've used my beveled edge glass panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACADuser Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 Got a reply from tech support on the pony walls. This seems to work as desired except i don;t see the glass edges. Hello, Thanks for contacting Chief Architect Technical Support! After reviewing your case, it looks like the layers don’t cover the floor platform where we are using an upper wall type that doesn’t have any exterior layers. To resolve this: 1. Select one of the pony walls on the second floor with the gap below it 2. Click Open Object 3. Go to the Wall Types panel and click Define next to Glass Shower 4. Select the main glass layer and click the Insert Above button 5. Use the Move Up button to move that layer into the Exterior layers 6. Change the material to Insulation Air Gap and the thickness to 0” 7. Confirm all dialogs – you should now see the stucco covering the floor platform Please let me know if this helps!
