payettedesigns Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 In order to change newel height on deck railing, I had to convert to panel change height of newel I picked from library and then convert back to balusters. The only dbx I found that had the check box for railing passes over newel was in the stair dbx. anyone have an easier way to simply change newel hgt so railing is in between and not over the top of newels?

johnny Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Perhaps you can illustrate with a pic or two - I read what you are saying but not fully following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I think you may have found a quirk , I just tried it and I found if I did it once in the Wall>Railing or Deck Railing Defaults before drawing the Deck , the new railings allowed the Newel to be changed from the Newel Tab ,otherwise switching to Panel, was the only option to enable the height change from Default railing height. Hadn't thought about it before but not sure why we can't set a Newel Default height separate from the Railing Default height , it's pretty common in some areas Probably worth reporting as a bug David.

yusuf-333 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Unchecking the 'post to rail' option allows it, if I am not missing some thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you are right Makes sense I guess , its not really a post to rail if Newels are Taller ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
