Power Converter added! (4-20-12)
(Added to the Railing-Design Tool-Box)
This program was designed save (in a file of your choice) the e-data of objects that the user selects!
Still in developmental stages, this program will be like a block that thinks!
Example:
The user selects drawing objects for the start of a hand-rail (that isn't already in the railing programs), then the user can save them to an e-data set that can loaded (like a program) and will adapt to the current variables of the railing programs!
(Thus making it "Smart")
Note:
The user will define the variables for all the entities (it will even have a listing of all the railing component variables to pick from), or enter "user" variables for the components!

With many many more to come!


New Update! (4-24-12):
Free-Form added to Auto-Mode!
Now users can use any degree they want in Auto-Mode, producing shop drawings as fast as they can pick 2 points (any angle needed!)
Use any degree in Free-Form mode!






You have so many options with all the different "Designr" programs (4 included with this version), it is literally possible to design hundreds of thousands of Custom Railing configurations with this program!

This is a sample of the Custom Railing Designr Program.
(Click each function to view how the dialog works and what the functions are used for!)

There are so many options to choose from:
1) Single, Auto or Single-multiple
      a) Select from a single rail
      b) Pick the lengths from your own pre-drawn layout!
      c) Entering a length longer than your material, results in the railing being broken-up into multiple shop drawings!
2) Railing Length (Enter the length for Single or Single-Multiples)
3) Top-Rail Height (The height to the top-of-rail)
4) Post Spacing (Desired "maximum" post spacing)
5) Misc. Properties Dialog (This is where the misc. sizes and spacings are configured)
      a) Picket-Railing (This is where you define the picket-rail properties!) 6) Layers (This dialog lets you change the default layers, colors, and linetypes to your favorites)
7) Base-plate or Core-Drill (to fasten the railing to a floor or other structure)
8) Barrier can be Pickets or Glass. With a top for mounting or without (extending the pickets or glass, to the top-rail)
      Glass has 2 mounting options:
      a) Clips (old style, with a bolt-thru application)
      b) Rails (new style, using an extruded railing for mounting the glass)
9) Post above top-rail (this option allows the post above the top-rail, you control the height!)
10) End Connections (there are 6 left-side and 6 right-side connections, allowing 36 different end-connection combinations to be used)
11) Top-Rail (there are 4 standard types of materials AND you can use your own Profiles too!)
      a) SQ & RC Tubing
      b) SQ Hollow Structural Tube
      c) RC Hollow Structural Tube
      d) A.S.A. Pipe (1/8" to 24", with most Schedule sizes available)
      e) Use you own Top-Rail Profiles! (Add your own favorite profiles!)
12) Posts (there are 4 standard types of materials AND you can use your own profiles too!)
      a) SQ & RC Tubing
      b) SQ Hollow Structural Tube
      c) RC Hollow Structural Tube
      d) A.S.A. Pipe (1/8" to 24", with most Schedule sizes available)
13) Base-Plate (Configure the base-plate to match your design needs)
14) Pickets (there are 4 standard types of materials AND you can use your own profiles too!)
      a) SQ & RC Tubing
      b) SQ Hollow Structural Tube
      c) RC Hollow Structural Tube
      d) A.S.A. Pipe (1/8" to 24", with most Schedule sizes available)
15) Glass (Glass thickness, clearance and weight. Including Clip/Base/Hole properties)
16) Steel or Aluminum (Check the desired material to use for the railing)
17) Data (This allows you to configure a railing to your specifications, then Open/Save/Delete them as needed)
18) Help (There is a fully integrated help system built into the program! Check the help check-box, then select a function to see what that function is used for!)


Files included:
1) Main Program and Dialog.
   This is where everything is configured and accessed from.
2) PK-Rail Designr.
   This is where you configure different size Picket-Railings.
3) Profile Designr.
   This is where you select the Top-Rail "Profile" to use in the current design.    Also this is where you add your own Profiles to the program (make sure to what the video on how this process is done!).
4) Base-Plate Designr.
   This is were you configure you Base-Plate designs.
5) Glass Designr.
   This is where you configure your Glass and Clip designs.
