AC21- Railing (GS you can do better)

[rob2218]

Come on GS. I"m a fan of you guys...ok, let me start by stating that.

But.....I just a "NEW" 5-1/2 minute video about "railings in AC21" and it spoke about "nodes" for the entire duration of the video?.....come on guys. Please. I've asked and begged for a video describing HOW to use the railing in AC21 and what are all the key features such as segments, rails, posts, top rails...etc... and how to set them up. We need THAT type of tutorial. NOT a 5 minute schpeel on "nodes"....please.

I suspect this is just the 1st one in a series on the railing tool. This is a hope as I don't really know but it is how they usually do things, breaking it down into bite size pieces.

It would be nice if Graphisoft could do a full tutorial video on the stairs and railings of an hour or so each. I think most of us can handle more than 5 minutes at a time. They are complex tools to figure out how to use properly and it would save a lot of trial and error on a lot of user's parts.

Cheers,

Well...dunno bout an "hour" long tutorial, who has time for that. I think 5 to 10 minute vid clips are fine. Besides.....I'm just looking for the "railing basics" meaning, what buttons do what and how to activate them? it isn't that hard. I believe AC21 will go down in the anals of BIM history as "the release that should have been released another 18 months later".....I supoose.

Check back to it regularly so you will see when new clips are uploaded.

thanks, will continually check back.
I'm looking for when you put out the specific video on all the "railing" parameters. What dialogue box does what, rails, posts, segments, etc...that's the video I'm looking forward to seeing.

thanks,

Still stuck on this tool , I am trying to create 4 ft. glass panels with a top and bottom rail and post between but I am having no luck , the segment pattern distribution stays greyed out
the panel will not break up and stays one long continuous panel. Does anyone have a favorite saved that I can load ? it might help in the understanding.

Thanks, Randy
