Building a house with a lean-to style roof. Hubby and I need ideas on how to secure the overhangs to the beams. Attached are photos of what it will look like.

As I've stated in the recent tutorial the regen time of this spline railings can suffer because of the large poly handrails and/or shoerails.  In the next update I will be introducing and option where the user can toggle a "split" option for both the handrail and shoerail.  This will split those two curved solids into separate segments (at the intermediate posts).  For larger spline railing assemblies my internal testing has shown an almost 100% performance (draw, edit, regen).

These two parameters will be found in the intermediate post sub-menu, see image below:

Turns out there are many possible solutions to the problem when you go from a single arc to a Hermite biarc solution. Of course not all these solutions are useful, especially where they intersect or collide with other segments of the polyline. Quite the education on this topic between Wikipedia and ChatGPT yesterday. Here as some solutions to the biarc and single arc problem:

Version 4.6.4 - 06.15.2026
- Added a "deck" option to the railing module.

Note that when Railing Type is set to "Deck" there will typically be a cap rail along with an upper and lower rail. The upper and lower rail provide the support for the balusters or pickets.

I will probably need to enable an option to disable or turn off the cap rail.
