X17 Custom Railing

[JonathanK]

I made a custom porch railing with a custom newel that is an 8x8 with the Simpson bracket and hardware.

Anyways, I've noticed that when I draw the walls with this custom railing, and I use RIGHT click, it makes my newels "manual" spacing, even though it's all set to Automatic.

When I draw the walls with this custom railing and I use LEFT click...it makes everything correct.

 

Is this a bug, or is there a reason behind this?

I think that's Intended behavior.  The right click allows customization.

Thanks, Joe.

That's all good and well, but wondering why the top wall on the left doesn't have the "customization"?

 

I always just assumed that right click was a continuous draw option, but apparently there is more to right click than I thought?...

And...maybe thinking on this a little further...if right click allows customization, how does that work for walls and other items?

The customization of newel spacing is only for railing walls.  Basically it's just like continuous drawing of walls except that it thinks the next point is a newel. vs a corner.

Can anyone from CA confirm this, or am I making a big deal of something that's not a big deal?

Not sure what you mean, these are identical:
