Wrought Iron Posts, Rails and "Columns" in x5?

[Archnot-Boltz]

I can't seem to find any "wrought iron" type porch columns, rails etc in the Chief X5 library. Am I just missing it or what? I kind of remember faking them with polyline solids just to represent the typical two vertical post 9" to 12" wide with the ugly scroll work between the two 1 3/4" square vertical members. Thought I would ask before re-creating the wheel.-thanks, Brad

 

Haven't loaded x6 yet but getting scared of the slower than x5 comments (I found x5 to be faster than x2,3 & 4) but having lots of crash & freeze issues with x5 anyway. My Dell xps i7 is running at 3.4 ghz , has 8meg ram and has a 1 gig ATI(yeah, I'm waiting to get the 2gig Nividia gtx 660 installed by Geeksquad). Screen freezes in vector elevation or section views when editing text or cad lines . Typically during a right click operation.-sorry off topic bin away for awhile.-Brad

Here attached is a photo image of what I'm asking for.  Well I guess it won't be attached. Where the heck is the attachment icon or option. I tried the My Media but not aware of how to set up. Thanks for making it difficult and alien. -BB

Try MORE REPLY OPTINS at bottom right

Thanks Scott, "more reply options" was the ticket. You would think that the attachment option would be more obvious without digging.

 

Drew my simulated  "wrought iron" "posts" with 3d polyline boxes and a scrollie piece from the symbols library. Guess I should save it to My Library.

 

Here attached is a photo of what I was looking for and what I ultimately created. Sure would have been easier if it were in the column and post library. Seems there's no rhyme or reason for useful versus useless crap in the current Chief Libraries.

 

 I also noticed that Scott's reply to my post did not show up in an email notification like it always did in the old Chief Talk. I guess I'll have to find the setting for that too?

 

But thanks for the help.-BB
