" In the darkness, they loom... providing support to tired hands"

Quick Start

Activate the Railing Rogue by clicking on its icon in the toolbar. Then click and drag on the build plate to define the area to which you want to add railings.

Demonstration of the Railing Rogue.

To confirm the creation of a railing, click anywhere outside of it, press Enter or click done on the bottom right.

Presets

In the right side menu, you can see a lot of buttons with different icons on them. These are the presets. If you click on any of them, that preset is then loaded, and this part of the menu collapses to the very top. Each preset is already completely configured for you, but, of course, you can still customize its behavior further (see configuration below)

If you want to change to a different preset, you can expand the Presets & Search menu by clicking its header at the very top of the right-side menu.

If the number of presets becomes overwhelming, you can filter which presets are displayed by typing in the search bar at the top or by expanding the filter menu next to the search bar and selecting the themes you want to filter for.

Railing Dimensions

After choosing your preset, click and drag on the build plate. A preview of your railing will be created and will follow your mouse around until you release the left mouse button. After releasing the mouse button, you can still adjust the preview by clicking and dragging on the orange arrows on either side of the preview.

Side Placement

In most cases, you won't want to place a full rectangle of railings with all 4 sides. To disable certain sides of the railing's area, use the right-side menu's Side Placement setting. You can find it in the Configuration section.

Accepting

You can then accept and consequently generate your railing in three ways:

Configuration

Using the right-side menu, you can change the kind of railing generated.

Materials

The very first thing you can change is which material will be used for your railings and the borders at their bottom. To change the material, click on the large button displaying your preset's icon. This will open a dropdown showing all materials available in your account.

Style Configuration

Icon Name Description Thick Borders at the bottom of the railings will feature thick 7mm / 1/4" templates. Thin Borders at the bottom of the railings will feature thin 3 mm / 3/32" templates. Raised Borders at the bottom of the railings will feature raised 25mm / 1" tall templates.

Special Configuration

Icon Name Description Regular Borders at the bottom of the railings will feature regular texture. Gridded Borders at the bottom of the railings will show visible grid lines.

Save Configuration

Finally, you can decide to save your configuration as a custom preset. This preset will be saved in your account and will appear in the Preset & Search section under custom configurations. You can enter a name for your custom preset to identify it again easily!

Banning

Underneath the Configuration section, you'll find the Banning section. Here you can exclude and include certain models from being used in your railing. Any transparent models are banned; all normal-looking ones will be used.

You can change a model's status by clicking on it. Note that the Railing Rogue will randomly select any of the non-banned models for its creation process.

Banned models (transparent) will not be used when creating railings.
