Error: Unable to create Railing. Please load section file.

Hello Good ABD Community.

I'm having a problem regarding Railings, when I try to place them I get the "Error: Unable to create Railing. Please load section file".

I'm attaching a picture so you can see it.

I think the problem is that is not finding the railing sections on the dataset, does anyone know where they could be so I can reroute them? and does anyone knows the variable that sets this parameter?

Best Regards

  • HI Rafael,

    you dont mention if this is CONNECT edition or V8i?

    Luckily, in both versions the variable is

    STRUCTURAL_SHAPES = US

    Sometime  this is specified at project/workset level or site level. The variable  points to a file "US.xml" that is usually found in the Dataset\data folder. if you wish to change this you will see other xml files in the same location .Just chage the value of the variable to match the name of the xml file e.g.

    STRUCTURAL_SHAPES = UK
