HI, everyone. Thank you for the responses. Trying to understand your advice... I built it as a railing but when I saw the height was greyed out on the newels/balusters, I added a 5" inch wall.
Rookie65, I think I understand what you're saying, but when I search to add a post, I get all sorts of weird columns. Not just a 5x5 piece of wood / a beam.
y-g-m-n, I created this house plan over 2 years ago and just came back to it now that we're ready to re-do the living room. I honestly can't even find that setting -- although it would be different at the sides versus in the middle, right?
Garybills, it would make lots of sense to use a wall, but I'm at a loss to understand how a shelf is used here. Any more detail?
Thanks all!
