I have a simple railing where the two rails and inner posts are the same depth. in elevation and model the rails the railing lines continue although I prefer that the rails stop at each inner post. Is there any way (without changing the depth) that I can have the priority of the inner posts higher than the railings so that this intersection is not visible?

Do different building materials with different strengths have any affect?
If so you could duplicate the building material so it looks the same but make one a little stronger.
I can’t test as I am on an iPad at the moment.
If not then adjusting the depth is the only way I know of to control it.

Building materials did not seem to have an affect. I changed the depth. Thank you.

It is also possible to go to Edit Mode and perform Solid Element Operations such as a Subtraction, with the Inner Posts being Operators, and Rails being Targets. That will also achieve correct intersection between them.

I didn't remember that.
Now that you mention it, it the back of my mind I may have heard about it once, but it certainly didn't stay with me as a solution.
Still learning after 20+ years. 😀
Thanks Laszlo.

If I remember correctly, this "SEO in Railing Edit Mode" feature did not come originally when the Railing Tool was introduced. It was developed and introduced one or two versions later so it may not be a very well-known feature.

The great thing about this, is that the SEO is retained even if you change the parameters, so you dont have to repeat it again and again.
