Gaps in Railing

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello,

I searched for hours trying to find a solution to this problem which seems like it should be relatively simple, but to no avail.

If I am missing something exceedingly basic I apologize in advance!

The Handrail on my railing recently developed gaps in the 3D model, and I cannot figure out what changed.
Usually I would just rebuild the rail and shrug it off. However, when I rebuilt the railing, the same gaps occurred.
In the First floor Plan, the railing is continuous and looks as it should. In 3D and section views, there are gaps (the handrail appears to be missing) around the corners and flat sections.

I uploaded screenshots of one section of railings for a visual.




Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Also check the Model View Options (MVO), looks like the Railing it set to Schematic.

What Archicad version are you using?
I am assuming that this is the new handrail tool?
If it is then check the railing connections - but it is a little odd they are showing in plan but not 3D.
I am wondering if it could be a missing library part - does you Library Manager report any problems with missing objects?

Barry,

Thank you for the suggestions. Those library parts are always getting me in trouble... though not today, fingers crossed!

James,

That was it. The railing was set to simplified in the model view options.
Thank you so much!

I really appreciate everyone's help with this. Have a wonderful day!
