    New Railing wall turning a corner at landing produces unexpected results

    I have drawn the railing wall to follow the stairs, but when it turns the corner something unusual happens......What am I doing wrong??? (see first 2 images)

    Also, how do I get the railing wall to anchor on the landing? It wants to anchor to the first floor (image 2).

    Thanks in advance.....

    I did a thread on this. The tracking behavior is limited to stairs and ramps. You are on your own when it comes to landings.

    Charles, I have found a procedure that will work with using panel railing walls and a landing and make it work on the landing too.

    Call me if you like. If you have Skype, we could do this free (no phone charge).

    Charles, here's an example. Just kept the panels solid but could be changed. Is this what you're trying to do?

    Do you have Skype? I have to do something for Louis right now but won't take long. A couple of tricks to know about to do this.

    Well, Charles got me a little bummed here. The camera view looks pretty good BUT when you take an elevation of the two sections with a landing in the middle, you'll find that the panels are really not following the stairs correctly. Using the railing (panel) wall for the stairs on one section does good but for two, well, it just doesn't work right. A camera might get you by okay but if you need an elevation, you'll have to fix it in cad. Trying to find a way to make this work with 2 sections and a landing in between but running out of ideas fast.
