Platform Railing

[DougM]

I'd like to place a matching railing on this platform (see attached) or a knee wall. The platform is a typical framed wall and floor. Which is probably why it isn't allowing me to put a knee wall as a railing/balcony wall. Am I going about it the wrong way here, should I be thinking more on the line of a stair platform, or a converted slab. I would eventually like to beable to show it framed as it will be in the real word.

Thanks,
Doug

If the platform is a typical framed wall and floor then it is defined by a wall..be it an invisible wall or normal wall, a wall none-the-less. And you should be able to make that wall visible and make it a railing to define the room.

Is your platform defined by invisible walls? If so, make them visible, and change them to a railing...

That I understand, maybe I didn't explain myself clearly.....the walls that make up the platform are normal walls I dragged down to height (36") and defined the enclosure as storage. Now with that in place as you see it. I want to either continue the stair railing around the perimeter (long and short wall) or build a kneewall ontop of what you see. OR make the walls 6' high and balloon frame the floor at 36". The problem comes when I try to put a knee wall or railing ontop of the platform. The walls that now make up the platform dissapear......

So - you mean the area of floor at the door and top of the stair is actually the ceiling of the 'storage' area underneath?

If so - I would redefine that area and call it entry, and set the floor height to the height that you need it (re-edit the room name if you like with text tool). Use railings rather than walls. And just put a note "storage underneath". It will show in section view as a void under there...and in render/vector it should have the wall to the platform as long as there is structure underneath (in the basement)....
