I'm having problems with the hand railing.
I cant seem to make an ARC that increases in elevation.
Any ideas?

Hey mini - you are further then we are with AEC objects, we only started using the wall, door and window objects and have not even tried stairs yet.
What version are you working with?

Anyhoo...Are you an AUGI member yet?

The AUGI forums are the absolute best resource for any type of CAD questions.

As soon as we get our dwgs plotted out for our deadline today I'll do a search and see if I can find any help for you.

What is an AEC object?

I'm working with AutoCAD 2004.

Not an AUGI member, but I'll check it out.

Remember, I'm not so good with all the technical stuff, being self taught and all.

I forgot. I thought you had taken classes.

AEC objects are what the ADT objects, walls, doors, windows, stairs etc... are called. Anything that is not just an AutoCAD entity.
Being self taught AUGI is going to be a great resource for you. And they are a great bunch of people. I've known some of them for 5-6 years or more. ANd it really is international, there are people from all over the world on there.
