Hey all...

this is my first post in the forums...

 

My question is, is it possible to 'host' handrails to walls??

I have a set of stairs (as pic attached) and i want to attach some rails on the internal sloping walls. I cant seem to 'host' them onto the walls itself, only to the stairs and then play around with offsets etc. Unfortunately, these walls are in place already and the walls are not parrallel with the stairs so it dont work too well.

any ideas or help please!?

Hi latino76, of course you can....try with this one (attached).....what you have to do is copy-paste this handrail into your project, pick your existing handrail and change to this one...

You can also edit the stair boundaries so that they are parallel to the wall.  The rails should then be parallel also.

Actually, the handrail erland73 shows is not wall hosted, it only appears to be.  The handrail is still hosted by the stairs but the sketch for the handrail is sketched parallel to the wall. 

 

You can find examples of several rail styles in the on-line library and you can copy-clip these into your project.

I have a similar application but somehow my downloaded brackets are not showing up.  No matter how much I change the offsets etc.  The brackets are downloaded from this website.

  Any thoughts?   Copy of the parameter attached.

Turn off everything except the railing and look at it in 3D and section and you should be able to see what is wrong with your settings.

thanks Hub!

I did try your suggestion the brackets DID show up in the right place in 3D.   Unfortunately, the elevations, plans and sections did not show the misbehaving bracket.  I tried checking VG and everything is checked.  Interesting not sure if there was a problem with the created family perhaps?

I have used the brackets on this site and there is nothing in them that would create your problems.  Relook at your 3d and turn on the wall that the bracket should mount to.  I bet you will find that the bracket is burried in the wall.

I did find the problem. 

The family was actually set to be visible only at medium to fine visibility.  When I tested the scales and visibility it showed up!

Hope this helps others too.
