I'm looking for a way to offset the Newels of the railing between my Loft and the Open Space below, so that half of the Newel is running down the loft flooring structure.  I have attached a few sample screenshots of what I am attempting to accomplish, along with a picture export of my plan.  Thanks.  BTW, I am currently using Home Designer Pro 2023 on a 14" MacBook Pro M1.

Great suggestion. I hadn't thought about that. Also, I was messing with offsets to the balusters, so I think I can make the alignment workout with manual Newels.  I'll post an update if I am successful.  Thanks.

Got what I wanted with your suggestion.  BTW, when I had been messing with the offset, I thought I was moving the balusters, but was actually moving the newels, so that option wasn't useful.  I ended up using a wall width of 1.5" (minimum allowed) then created the manual newels as you suggested.  It worked great. Thanks again.
