rosiebeauginger Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I would like to add rod iron railing on top of the side retaining wall, please see attached images. I have read the tutorial demonstrating adding railing above a terrain wall. However, this is not working in my situation because I can not modify the top of a terrain wall to be horizontal. It seems I must use a retaining wall to achieve the horizontal top. I would appreciate any tips to add the railing. Thank you.

DavidJPotter Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 The only way to do this currently is to place the railings on top of the walls as symbols directly from the Library Browser as symbols (not railing walls), In future versions this may not continue but is true now.

rosiebeauginger Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 I was able to fake it this time by adding a 60" thick, narrow terrain feature along the inside of the wall and placing the fence on the terrain feature. The ability to place the fence on a retaining wall in future versions would be welcomed. Often my terrain is uneven on both sides of the wall, so this trick wouldn't work. Thank you for your assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosiebeauginger Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Solver, yes, you understand my question correctly. I would like the rod iron railings on top of the shorter retaining walls. Attached is the plan file. Thank you.

solver Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Draw a wall on top of the retaining wall. I used an interior wall. Drag the bottom of the wall up in elevation or 3D view. Open the wall and change it to a Railing Wall. Change settings as required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
