Hi all, i've recenetly changed to using the railing tool when drawing nib walls up stairs (way easier/faster than trimming the wall with a piece of roof imo)
The wall below is the same surface as the railing tool but they are not seamless in 3d. There is always a line when the two meet.
Any idea as to why? i can work around this in 26 by creating a 3d documment and plotting a white line over the join but i'd love it if i could get it to join automatically.
Layers are the same
Materials are the same
Surfaces are the same
wall and railing are perfectly in line
Solved! Go to Solution.

The wall is obviously a wall but the railing is an object.
Surfaces of objects do not merge with other elements.

Just use a wall for the entire wall/rail.
Angle the top with an opening or Solid Element Operate with a roof or inclined beam in a hidden layer.

Or keep using the Railing as the SEO Operator and move that to a layer that can be hidden. That way the SEO Operator stays associated to the Wall it cuts.
