Railing schedule preview not showing real geometry

Rastko Pecar

Hi, does anyone know why are the schedule previews of my window and balcony fence showing the same and wrong image? As you can see from the attached images of my bldng the geometry is not correct. I don't have this issue with window&door schedule previews which work as they should.

Previews in the schedule are always just an example, not the real thing.

There is currently no way around it.

I'd probabaly do a 3D document though, to help with documenting.

Generally railings (as well as curtain walls) are a pattern that repeats.

They could be 100s of metres long or span multiple floors.

That is why you only see a sample image.

Aha. Since preview for furniture, doors and windows show correct geometry I thought its an exact representation, not symbolic image.

 

Thank you for your advice, Cheers
