Before drawing the railing, the railing types are selected and used from the archive. You can also create your own railing types for the railing types not available in the archive. The basic rationale of creating a new type of railing will be revealed by creating a typical railing step by step in the program.
There are 4 handrails of 2x2 cm and two railing profiles of 6x4 cm in the selected railing type. The steps to be followed to create the railing above are as follows;
Click the Settings / Object Settings / Railing Settings line in the classic menu , and click the Entry / Objects / Railing / Railing Settings icon in the ribbon menu .
The Scarecrow Settings dialog will open. Switch to the Scarecrow Unit Settings Tab.
Click the Reset Scarecrow button at the bottom of the dialog. This action will clear the dialog.
To create the railing profiles;
In the guardrail profiles table, go to the first row named N = 1 and click the profile column.
Select the 4x6 cm sized profile that we previously defined and saved to the archive from the drop-down list.
In the railing profile table, go to the second row named N = 2.
In the Distance column, type a value of 1.2, the distance between the two rails.
Click on the profile column and select the 4x6 cm profile from the list.
The second guardrail will be formed.
To create the handrail profiles;
In the handrail profiles table, in the first row named N = 1, make the height 1 meter and click the profile column.
Select the 2x2 cm sized profile that we previously defined and saved to the archive from the drop-down list.
Click the Copy button under the table. The 2nd line will be formed.
In line 2, enter 0.75 in height and confirm that 2x2 cm is selected as the profile. (Same happened because we copied the line)
Click the Copy button under the table. The 3rd line will be formed.
In line 3, write the height 0.50 and confirm that 2x2 cm is selected as the profile.
Click the Copy button under the table. The 4th line will be formed.
In line 4, enter 0.25 in height and confirm that 2x2 cm is selected as the profile.
After this process, the process of creating the railing type is finished. The image of the scarecrow can be viewed on the right in the dialogue.
Click the OK button to exit the railing settings.
The scarecrow command is active.
You can draw the railing you have created by clicking the points in the drawing area.
Using the created railing to make the railing shown below:
The numbers shown in the figure in the horizontal and vertical directions are the index numbers of the handrail and posts. (These are the values that will appear as N in the table)
First, two railings will be added in between.
On the N = 2 line, click the Copy To Front button 2 times to add 2 more railing profiles.
Come to the line N = 2 and make the distance value 20 cm. Click on the profile column and select the 2x2 cm profile.
Come to the line N = 3 and make the distance value 80 cm. Click on the profile column and select the 2x2 cm profile.
Come to the line N = 4 and make the distance value 20 cm.
Railing and handrail profiles were created as numbers and profile types. The next step is to change the index numbers of the left / right handrail and lower handrail to match the shape. These appear in the table by default.
In the handrail table;
Point to the 2nd handrail row.
Set the left handrail index value to 2 by selecting it from the list. This change means that the handrail in the 2nd row will end at the 2nd railing from the left. Likewise, make the Right handrail index 3.
Come to the 3rd handrail row.
Select the left handrail index value from the list and set the right handrail index value to 3.
In the railing profile table;
Click row 2.
Select the lower handrail index value from the list to set it to 4.
Similarly click on row 3.
Select the lower handrail index value from the list to set it to 4.
After this process, the process of creating the railing type is finished. The image of the scarecrow can be viewed on the right in the dialogue.
Click the OK button to exit the railing settings.
The scarecrow command is active.
You can draw the railing you have created by clicking the points in the drawing area.
Making a railing with plates:
As the third type, the construction of a railing with a glass panel in the middle will be explained. Paneled railing will be obtained by making changes on the railing that we created earlier.
First, delete the handrail profiles in the 2nd and 3rd rows in the handrail table.
Move the cursor to line 2. Click the Delete button.
Move the cursor back to line 2. Click the Delete button.
Come to the scarecrow table. Click in the column of railing profiles in rows 2 and 3 and select the row none from the list.
Add a new plate to the plates table and click the Add button.
Click on the lower handrail index column and select the value 2 from the list.
Click on the left handrail index column and select the value 2 from the list.
Go to the right handrail index column and select 3 from the list
Come to the thickness column and give the value 1 cm.
Scroll to the Material column and select the Glass material from the list .
After this process, the process of creating the railing type is finished. The image of the scarecrow can be viewed on the right in the dialogue.
Click the OK button to exit the railing settings.
