handrails of stairs and rails library do not match perfect

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 16:07:35 GMT

Where can I find more independent types of railings, outside of the library offers so fits perfectly with all settings handrails of stairs? I searched railings so I set them to match the scale of (or change them on the scale of those that fit the library).
I did not really, as you can see in pictures.
Of course, I need railings and curved out what is in the Library program.

This is unfortunately a long standing problem. Railing library parts are different from Stairmaker railings...
The only solution i have found, is ArchiStair from Cigraph that allows you to create railings, following slabs and stairs...

My solution was to buy multirail 2 from objectsonline and make the stairs without railing. Draw all the railings using multirail 2

I heard that they can build railings with curtain wall tool.
is this true?

Another possibility is to use the Trussmaker tool to create a railing. This is actually pretty fast, and can be modified later.

Hi jocontreras

1. How's it's interface/blending with raked to flat areas?
2. How well does it handle curved stairs that flare out wider
gradually from top to bottom. ie. Top is say 3' at the bottom 5'.
Any other specific insights would be nice.
Thanks

Hi Richard
I've only used Trussmaker for one small job so far, so if you don't mind could you post an image that might explain how this works for you?
Thanks

StairBuilder (or whatever its new name is) from Cadimage is pretty good, although I haven't used the recent versions. They seem very versatile.

Hi jocontreras

1. How's it's interface/blending with raked to flat areas? it does a good job
2. How well does it handle curved stairs that flare out wider gradually from top to bottom. ie. Top is say 3' at the bottom 5'. ]sorry no curves you can use curve railing from archicad And try to match the design with multirail 2
Any other specific insights would be nice. The library part is pretty flexible laying out custom pattern od balausters and paralel intermediate bars but IT CANNOT HANDLE ALL INSTANCES inclinations and mittering is prettty good
Thanks

Don't have a lot of time right now, but maybe this will work: http://www.graphisoft.com/support/archicad/archiguide/techtipsept2002.html

Hi jocontreras
Thanks for the reply.
For now I think the no curves is a deal breaker for me, as I've been learning Objective and It creates curved stringers/railings very easily and splayed/(spreading) from top to bottom real nice if need be.
But maybe multirail-2 would be nice for some other things.
I'll see if they have a demo.
Take care.
Be safe out there.

If you can buy objective this is the way to go. No need for multirail 2
In fact Im saving money so I could buy it soon.
Its sad this great program (or something similar) is not included on archicad package (maybe on version 15 )

Cadimage's Stairbuilder should do it. I've always found their draftmanship imaculate. Free or low cost for students, also 30 day free trial versions. Google them for info!
