What is blocking my railing wall from rising

[Gene Davis]

This has worked OK for me before, but something is happening now that is annoying, and I cannot solve it.

See the attached. A three section stair, actually four, begins with a starter tread landing, then goes up straight, landing, reverse, and it has a railing wall between.

Something is keeping the wall from rising beyond a point on one end of the wall. The wall is uneditable in the backclipped section view. I can select it to open a dbx, but cannot get its polyline in elevation for dragging up the offending corner.

Note that its woodgrained cap is where it belongs.

What could be the cause?

I'm not going to bother to guess.

I would have to see the model.

It is attached here, Louis, and thanks a lot for examining it.

I think it has something to do with your wall configuration in that area. I have other things to do this evening. Just make it a regular wall rake it and add a cap and be done with it.

Oh and by the way railing walls are never editable in an elevation.

Gene, change your floor height A setting in the open below room above. I should have looked at this first. It's not your walls it's the floor. I'm curious why did you change this?

Thank You that was helpful.

You're welcome.

Louis, I must have fooled with the floor height when I could not get the large window group in the staircase wall to place the way I wanted. The staircase railing wall must have gone whacky then.

In any event, I took your advice in your earlier post about making a normal wall, raking it manually, and capping it with a p'line solid.

As you said, " . . . just be done with it," and I am. But now I know something more, and that is how floors can affect staircase railing walls.
