3D Line Style - Post located at end of beam

Question

Hi All, I've had a bit of trouble creating a 3D line style, this is originally for ORD 2019 Update 2, however i had some initial problems selecting a 'Base Stroke Pattern', so i've brought this back to Microstation SS3. 
 Question 1) will there be issues with compatibility from SS3 .rsc and ORD, i imagine it could be visual issues in terms of materials? 
 Question 2) I've tried for the life of me to located a post at the end of the guard rail beam. The current post spacing 2m centers, is there a way to place a post at spaces between 0m and 2m? 
 Question 3) ive noticed the first post that gets placed seems to have edges shown in Col 0, - from the screen shot you can see the subsequent post does not have this edging to it, is there a way to remove the edging from the first post? 
 Question 4) being a noob to line style customisation, Ss there a way to clean up my 'point symbols, as ive used ROAD 3D FGF POST LHS and 3D FGF BEAM LHS - My OCD can just about deal with it, but it will be good if i can clean this up. 
 
 Thanks in advance

There shouldn't be any compatibility issues between SS3 and ORD 
 You will need to edit the "End" option for your post Point component. I have placed a screen capture below, and the circled option is demonstrating what I am talking about. With this setup, you should be able to place a post anywhere between your 2m post spacings because the post will always be at whatever the end of the line is. Make sure you select your Point Symbol for the "End", and the arrow is showing you what you should click on for that. 
 This just seems like it is "doubling up" and making it seem like it has a higher line weight. Try removing your "Origin" options for your post Point component and only having the "End".
