Morph to railing post 2d view problems

[Anonymous]

Hi all,
I made a morph for a custom railing post. I added it to the Object Library and I can select it with the railing tool.
It works OK in 3-d but the plan view is not working.

If I keep as how it defaulted, there is no post showing on the plan.
I looked around online and in this forum and fiddled with the 2d script. (up till now the 2d script was empty) I got the posts to show by doing this, but then the plan view showed the posts offset (both x and y) and rotated 90.

I really don't have the time to learn scripting. Can anyone just make this thing work normally for me?

Thanks,

Hey guys,

Yeah, if you save a railing post object from 3D elements, there will be no 2D script generated, because of some technical limitations.

But we have written an Article about how to make one for yourself (in case you are not a GDL developer):

Also, the display order of different Railing elements can't be controlled, it should be automatic, but there's an issue with it currently, when it is not displaying elements in the right order in every case. We are working on that one.

I hope this Article will help! If there's something missing, or the described method is not working, please use the "Was this Helpful?" option at the bottom of the page to leave a message about how we could improve the article! (or you can discuss it here, if it's something like that).

I know the question was about the creation of the 2D of a custom Railing Post, but the Help Center also contains another article about the creation of its 3D part. Here is its link for reference:
