Residential Railing

Anonymous
Not applicable
Anyone seen around anywhere some railing for porches for residential. Not modern like metal and wire, but more wood or wrought iron?

I have seen some very basic ones but to convince the powers to be to go full fledged AC, I need to recreate what we could draw in AutoCAD

I attached a pic of what I was talking about. Or am I just not aware how to make that with regular objects. It would be nice if it was an object I can place and stretch as needed.

Thanks!

You can create just about anything with the Morph Tool and then you can save it as a Library Object.
By default Library Objects can be stretched in X, Y and Z directions but you may what it to work differently perhaps? I could not figure out from your description.

That's fine, I just wanted to make sure someone had made one in the past that was usable. I wanted to ask before I spent the time making one on my own and could have saved time.

Thanks! I will get to learning that morph tool. Haven't tried it out yet.

JLKilgore:

Have you tried the Objects Rail Balustrade 16 or Rail Post with Balusters 16 in the Object Library 16? You should be able to get close to what is shown in your drawing by modifying their parameters.

This was made with slabs in floor plan, then created object with door type and voila. Of course you can just make it as an regular object as well.
