Windscreen

[builtright3]

Hello,
 

I cant figure out how to center the glass with the post for this windscreen.

Any help would be much appreciated.

How did you make it?  If you are using a pony wall with a railing on top that has a panel, then it should be centered by default.  One way I know to get the panel to be outside the posts would be to offset the posts horizontally so they miss the panel but not sure if that is what you did.

 

[builtright3]

Yes, you are exacly right, I offset the panel thinking the post would go with it but I cant get the post to center on the bottom wall for some reason.

Looks like maybe you offset the entire railing?  See if you set anything for the "horizontal offset" on the "rail style" page.  If it's not that, then you might want to post your plan.

Yes, of course. Here is my plan file. You will also see Im having issues with one of the corners.

Thank You

I dont know whay I did not see this before

While you have my plan would you mind looking at the outside corner for me? When I bring the roof to the wall it breaks the corner.

This kind of stuff drives me nuts. I usually find out it has to do with wall alignment, invisible walls or just how walls are structured. Most of the time I figure it out but this one has got me stumped.

@builtright3 It appears that these walls are trying to use the upper wall type (Glass Shower) to create this intersection, which will cause problems because the Glass Shower Wall Type is a single thin layer. 

 

I think the approach I'd take here instead is to still use the Pony Wall, set the Upper and Lower Wall Type to be "Stucco-4, Exist, Both Sides", and then paint the panel of your railing panel with the glass material. The Wall Cap seems to be a bit odd, which I haven't looked into, but it might be easier at this point to remove the Wall Cap from the Wall Specification and manually draw one in using the Molding Line tool.

 

I have attached an image of what that looks like.

The roof somehow got off from one side to the other and it was generating an attic wall along this line and was affecting the corner of the railing wall. I just figured it out now and thought I better post it.

Thank you all very much for all the help.
