English Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I got the framing done for my deck and am trying to add railings but it places them on the floor below (which happens to be the slab on grade). How can I get them to locate on the deck surface?ThanksAlan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Need to know which railings you are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst777 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm confused on your description. Typically you form a deck using the Deck Railings tool, specified as a Deck room type, let the software auto generate framing, then turn off the deck framing generation and make modifications to the deck framing as needed, so I'm not sure I follow doing it backwards like it seems you've described.

English Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Eric I am using the standard railing -- not the deck railing. Kat I chose to create my own deck as the auto generated deck looked nothing like my existing deck. It was just too much work to make all the changes necessary.

Solution solver Posted January 21, 2016 Solution Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'll ask the obvious -- you are drawing the railings on the proper floor, the floor the deck is on and not the floor below? This was discussed sometime in the past 20 months, but I could not find anything via a quick search. Might be time to post the plan, or at least part of it (Edit>Edit Area>Edit Area (All Floors)) to cut out that part of the structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also changed to the deck railing. Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
