Archicad Railing
Dee Piccard
I'm having a hard time trying to create a relatively simple railing with evenly spaced posts.
'Posts' and 'inner posts' are identical. I want a distance between the outermost 'posts' and the nodes (15 cm in my image). But Archicad seems to ignore this distance when distributing the 'inner posts', as if there was not any distance between the outer posts and railing ends.
In short, in the image attached, I'd like to have four spans of 1.879 m (which is 7.518/4) instead of two spans of 1.804 and two spans of 1.954. How??
Though that will not work if you are using a continuous railing with paired corner posts... In this case you would probably need to add extra nodes at where you want the end posts, then turn off the corner post.
Anyone find that, overall, the Railing Tool is difficult to use? I find it really clunky and generally fast to just manually build what I want rather than messing with the Railing Tool. It's a good idea, but the implementation needs a lot of work.
I'm struggling with the railing tool to have its floor display shown as I'd like. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if I should model it another way... I've been through AC guides, Ci guides and Ci support before asking for help here. (also, sorry in advance for the ugly screenshots)
If I stand in L01, I'd like to have rail #1 coming from below to as "visible above its home story's break-line ( 1100 above GFL) and hidden (dashed) below its home story break line. I couldn't get that done.
. The railing tool floor plan display is set as All relevant stories.
. I've set up my MVO to only show the handrail above the break line and in the railing settings, I ticked the floor plan symbol components by MVO.
. I've tried every entry for the Relevant top story setting under floor plan display layouts but couldn't get what I was looking for.
In the rail settings, I've been trying to play with the break line position. I understand that it either refers to the storey cut plan height, or you can define a custom one.
I've set it as custom, and from there I found out that the value tagged as (1) on screenshot 2 corresponds to the "Relevant bottom story" display setting, and I assumed that the (2) correspond to either "Above relevant story" or "Relevant top story" display setting.
The setting 1 (relevant bottom story) works all fine, if I change it to any display value it looks as it should be, but I can't get the value (2) working. If I stand on L02 and try to adjust how that L01 starting rail shows on L02 above the break line, all I get is either no rail showing up, all solid or all dashed. Theoretically, if I set the "relevant top story" display as "Below break mark: Hidden" it should look the way I want! solid above the custom break mark and dashed below. But it stays dashed all the way..
Thanks for getting back to me. I've started playing with the railing plan display as the last attempt.. I rather avoid otherwise as you wisely suggested.
So I did remodel the rail as per my screenshot above, (green path), and it worked! Not perfect but much more understandable. I'll need to spend some more time to see if I can get the break lines to show properly but it's already a victory,

the two methods mentioned above do not allow me to set railing slope please be more specific in how to do such, associated seems to be for level to level and the pet pallet only lets me move the entire railing up down left to right but does not allow for changing the angle to match a slope attached is picture of what Archicad 19 allowed us to do with railing and i can't seem to do that any more
thanks that video helped I am in 26. Side note I tried doing what you are showing and it would not let me do that, your pet pallet is different from mine see attached. Do you know why I've looked for other pet pallets but that is the only one poping up
By the looks, the first simple solution is to select the railings, open their settings and check the renovation status (or use the reno palette with the active selection, also check if the show on current renovation filter option is set, maybe it shouldn't be). Set them to existing and see if that solves the issue.
If you then need different renovation filters, work the settings for the objects, then the renovation filter options (for each filter check the show/override/hide object settings), then review the graphic overrides for each status, then use the filter in your view.
It must be some strange kind of bug, looking at the IFC labels of the single components the handrail was set to "new", and the balusters were greyed out and were set "to be demolished". I selected the railing, changed the Renovation status to "existing" and then changed it back to "new" and the lines appeared.
I had this same problem with the railings appearing all white in my elevations - what's causing is it is that the railing's components themselves can be individually set with their own renovation filters. So you may have set it to be "existing" but the components within are actually set to be "new" and so they show up in some weird white ghosted look. Very frustrating for sure - it would have taken days to go in and reset each component within the railings to the correct filter error so I just made it into a component instead and that seems to have worked for now. Amazing we have all paid so much money for this software to have these kinds of glitches, ridiculous.
