Railing - Custom Panel

Lingwisyer
Guru
Hi all,

Anyone know how to pull the post / baluster / rail spacing in regards to the Panel Sub-element? I am wanting to create a custom panel that will stretch to accommodate the defined offsets from these other sub-elements. At minimum, I am looking for the horizontal position of the vertical sub-elements.

Try to open one of the default Railing Panels of ARCHICAD for editing and check its script. Probably the Built-in Panel is the simplest. Hopefully that will give you the clue of how it should be created.

All the corner nodes for the panel are indeed found in one of the existing panel macros.
See this post for an example of swapping the flat panel for diagonal cross rails.
