Railing not perpendicular

marcocioeta — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 09:50:39 GMT

Hi!

I have a doubt, when I model a railing, only the first and the last one columns are perpendicular to the reference line.

The others stay vertical. I can edit manually neither. You can see the picture below.

How can I edit the vertical ones to perpendicular?

Thank you!

The "Relative to Perpendicular" setting that you have set works fine for me in both 22 and 27 TP. Are both your Inner Posts and Post the same type?

ps. You should add some details about your setup to your forum signature. See mine for more info.

I am not quite sure how you got just the end posts (main nodes) to be perpendicular (but I only have version 22 open at the moment).

But you can skew the entire railing including the inner posts.

There is no 'perpendicular option, so you will have to set the angle manually.

@Barry Kelly, the option just above lets you swap the angle reference.

Ah yes, 'Relative to Perpendicular'

Thanks Ling.

I thought there was a setting somewhere to automate it.

This should affect the inner posts as well.
