How Do I Create Deck Columns?

[CrayonArchitect]

Hello,

 

I just downloaded Home Designer Suite 2024.  I have built a deck (with a roof and no railings.)  I am trying to insert two support columns on each side at the front.  I have tried adding railings and turning off balusters and making the railings invisible.  Like I said, I do want to see two of them so, it seems the all-or-nothing will not work in this instance.  Can anyone recommend a way I can get this done?  Attaching a copy of where I'm at in the process.  I do not want the post against the house but I do want the one out front - taller (and one that matches on the other side) Thank you!

I'm not sure what HD Suite can and can't do, but you should be able to set the newels to either "post to ceiling" or "post to beam".  You will need to make the railing "open" and turn off the top and bottom rails too.

 

You might have better luck on the hometalk forum here:

Thank you so much for your response.  I did try that, and it is not quite what I'm looking for.  I will do as you suggested and see if someone over at Hometalk can offer anything.

 

Thanks again!
