railings - specify distance?

[JanneS]

Is it possible to specify the distance between posts in a railing.

I tried to use railing to show in 3D where different posts/pillars are. please see picture included.

Are there another way of putting posts in the construction e.g. as a pillar in a room?

The way to place posts will depend on the version of Home Designer you are using.

I the Pro version you can specify the distance between post in a railing by opening the properties and going to the Newels/Balusters tab and specifying the "on center" distance.

In Suite you do not have this option.

You could place a soffit and modify it in a way to create a post. You can then place it anywhere you like.

Additionally in the pro version you have the ability to place a framing member that is a post.

You can use the Break Wall tool to control where the program puts posts in railings.

There are some columns in the millwork library that can be placed in a room where ever you want.

HTH.
