Setting the Trim Planes of a Railing

Architectural

You can trim a railing to a selected surface when the 3D model of a building is activated.

  1. Select the railing. You can select more than one object by pressing and holding the Ctrl key.
  2. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
  3. Select Set Railing Trimming Planes.
  4. Select the surface to which the railing is to be trimmed.
  5. Select trimming method.
    • Stretch to surface - This function is used to stretch a railing to the selected surface such that the baseline of the railing ends at the surface.
    • Cut with surface - This function is used to cut a railing in two at the point where the baseline of the railing intersects the selected surface.
    • Remove the end passing the surface - This function is used to trim a railing to a surface such that the length of the baseline of the railing is not affected. This function can be used, for example, at the top of a handrail when the railing is cut with a floor or a roof.
  6. Select Confirm.

Note

  • A railing cannot be longer than its baseline in any place. On the other hand, a railing body can be longer than the baseline of the railing.
