Hey Everyone, I'm trying to make a custom railing post to use with the railing tool but I'm not sure where to save it. Does anyone know where I can find or save the symbol so its accessible from the railing tool? Thank you, Derek

In VW2021 SP1 the Railing/fence tool seems to fail to create/represent flat-shaped vertical frame bars (while horizontal frame bars are behaving as expected). I tried both on a new file and on an existing converted one, where bars are simply not represented. Should I report it as bug? Screen Recording 2020-10-31 at 18.11.54.mov

When I create a railing using the railing/fence tool, there is an arrow shown at the end of the railing. Does anyone know what's up with that? I attached a file. Thanks, Kit Railing arrow.vwx

Hello, Small post just to mention a bug (or at least a weird behavior) while using the railing tool ("Barrière" in French). This issue occurs randomly. The first three railings can be created as expected and then suddenly the fourth one will go crazy. See picture bellow.

Hi all, I was wondering if it's just me and my computer that has huge issues with the Railing/Fence tool performance, so when i want to create a new railing/fence i set up all the required settings without any issues, but when i get to the classes designation it goes so slow to change anything that it seems vectorworks just crashed. Another thing is i have a class (ex: Material-Aluminium) with the texture and all the correct settings and when i change let's say the 3D Post class to that and in the texture setting i go to by Class, usually doesn't pick up the texture in the class and i have to set it up manually and when i press the TEXTURE option, the VW goes super slow and takes ages to show the menu to choose the texture i want. Is there anything i can do to fix this? I'm using VW 2020 (latest update) Ryzen 7 2700x with a nvidia 1060 6gb ram and 32gb memory ram. EDIT: i've posted here and deleted the one in troubleshooting as i might have wrongly categorized it.

I've think others have mentioned this, but, the corner posts on railings are set 45 degrees from the railing. I'd like to correct this. Really messes with my elevation and section drawings. Thanks

Hi Everyone, I have noticed ramps has its own rail but there are not many setting available to customize it. Is there a way to use normal railing for ramps or change railing for ramps to be more flexible. What I am trying to achieve is to match ramp guard rail to match with my other railing-See attached Thank you!

Railing Fence Tool - Corner Posts
ericjhberg posted a question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
I really like the new railing/fence tool. It is a dramatic improvement over the previous tool. With that said, one thing that could use fixing is the handling of corner posts. If you are using a square post, the tool automatically rotates the corner posts to mediate the angle of the corner, rather than realistically squaring up with either the entering line or the exiting line. This is not a realistic application. For example a fence/railing with square posts that jogs frequently at 90 degrees. The corner posts are all at 45 degrees to the entering/exiting lengths of fence. Another improvement to this tool would be the option to offset the posts from the panels. Often fences have posts on the inside or outside of panels and not directly centered in the line of the fence. The posts should serve as the center of the fence line, but the paneling should be able to be offset to one side or another. In this case, this should also better support the ability to create top, middle, and bottom rails to support an offset fence panel. Think basic vertical picket solid wood fence. -
Fence Railing Tool and Workgroup Folders
ericjhberg posted a question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
We have been playing around with the new fence/railing tool and like that you can save as symbols to a custom location. It just so happens that custom location is only the USER folder. This is fine for personal storage, but in a large office, we need the ability to link this tool to a WORKGROUP folder as well. Of course, with the resource manager, custom symbols can be easily located in either location, but in the tool itself, it seems that the custom profiles are only loaded from a USER folder and not from a mirrored location in a WORKGROUP folder. -
