Horizontal Spindle Option
Added |
| |
Version 13 now has the ability to
change the orientation of railing spindles to horizontal. This is
useful where the railings need to be modeled to show cable railings. A
Spindle profile is selected to change the appearance of the spindles
for the 3D model.

Lathe Tool Used to Define Custom
Spindles and Posts |
| |
The Lathe Template is used to
create custom shapes for the stairs Spindles and Posts. The Lathe
allows you to “convert” custom profiles out of square stock that will
be used on the 3D model and the generated working drawings. Once a
profile is added to the Lathe library it can be applied to the
railing. SoftPlan also provides pre-made profiles that can be selected
to use for the Spindles and Posts.

Mitre with Wall End Style
Added |
| |
Where a railing meets a wall at an
angle, the option for the Railing Post Style can be modified to ‘Mitre
to Wall’. This will cut the corresponding railing end on the same
angle to abut the wall properly.

Profile Tool Used to Define Handrail and
Toerail Shape |
| |
The Lathe Template is used to
create custom shapes for the Handrail and Toerail for railings. The
Lathe allows you to “convert” custom profiles out of square stock that
will be used on the 3D model and the generated working drawings. Once
a profile is added to the Lathe library it can be applied to the
railing. SoftPlan also provides pre-made profiles that can be selected
to use for the Handrail and Toerail.

Railings Can Be Added to Stairs
and Then Saved in Symbols |
| |
With Version 13 it is now possible
to include the Railings as part of a Stair symbol. This saves having
to place railings each time a stair symbol is drawn on the
plan.

Simple/Actual Extraction Option
Added for Spindles to SoftView |
| |
These options control how detailed
the extraction is for Spindles in SoftView. For a more detailed model,
the Actual extraction can be selected. This option will need to
generate more surfaces which will take longer. This can generally be
used in the final stage of rendering. While still in the working
stages of the drawing, such a level of detail may not be required. To
save time the Simple extraction can be selected. This option will
still give an overall idea of the spindle profiles.

Snap Located Corners, Center,
Midpoints |
| |
Further development has been made
to the snap points used in Version 13. When using a relative command
(i.e. Move), it is possible to use Cursor Snap to locate a specific
point of a Railing which include the center, midpoint and
corners.
