Hello there!
I’ve been tasked with recreating this bridge railing, and I’ve been trying to figure it out since yesterday — but I’m still having trouble. I’d really appreciate any advice you can share. I’ve got two main concerns:
- In the reference photos (Ref Photo 1 & 2), the metal railing seems to transition from being angled upwards (facing the sky) to a vertical orientation (facing sideways). I’m trying to achieve this effect, but I’m unsure how to do it without the metal changing thickness — if I’m interpreting the photos correctly. Also, I’m wondering how the vertical metal pieces are curved and appear to follow the support structure.
- In Ref Photo 3, the concrete railing starts high and gradually becomes lower toward the foot of the bridge. I tried dividing it into three segments (high, middle, and low) to match that slope. However, the issue is that it doesn’t align properly with the bridge’s pavement. I’ve already tried using Flowify and Eneroth Upright Extruder, but I’m still stuck.
I’ve attached the SKP file as well. I’d be so grateful for any tips or guidance someone can give. Thank you so much in advance!
