billtheia Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Am I missing a setting somewhere? I can't get the handrails to appear in 2d when using a "custom stair" object in VW2010. Help. Quote Link to comment
Horst M. Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hallo Bill, When it is the new Stair PIO, you can set how the Rails show in 3d in the "Railings" section of the settings. Where you can chose if the Rails and Posts are displayed in 2d. Horst M Quote Link to comment
Horst M. Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hallo Bill, I was too fast. I did some Stairs with the new PIO and liked the new features in the Settings a lot, but I had to move back to the Custom Stair tool, because of some render Problems that I couldn't solve. :-( Anyway, in case of the Custom Stair Tool: You design the Handrails in the Settings, but you have to enable the Handrails and Guardrails in the lower third part of the Object info Palette to make them visible.

billtheia Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 I have then "enabled." They're just not showing up in 2d. I can see them in 3d views but NOT in top-plan view. Quote Link to comment
Horst M. Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) may be I misunderstood. I tried again in a new file, and as soon as I enable or switch on (or how you may name that action) the Handrails or Guardrails or both in the object info palette, in 2d or 3d they are shown.

billtheia Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 I think that my problem is that the stair in question was a bit complex and I had railings applied to the right side only on one section and the left side only on another section. I have tested simple stairs and it all seems to work just fine. My kingdom for a robust stair tool... Quote Link to comment
