I have seen pics of bases that appear to have railings, I can not find them in the editor. Please Help

Most folks use the reading-style lamps and overlap them for a "rail with bars" kind of look.

If you are looking for a cleaner line with only one or two bars, you might try floating a line of overlapping rectangular vents on a cubical (take away the cubical & voila!), then use the lamps again for the bars.

Mind you, I haven't actually tried the second idea... but it's been "floating" around in my head for a while.

good luck

Yes, i have also seen railings in bases, and i believe you are thinking the lamp structure that Impish Kat mentioned.

All of those worked out great, once I learned i had to make them it went much faster. I was starting to think I had lost my mind, not being able to find them. Thanks so very much.

Make sure to choose the lamps that are "off" when placing.

Good advice for the most part. Though depending on how you feel, you can try having a few of the "on" ones in there as well. What I've done at times is have 3-4 "off" lights followed by 1-2 "on" lights, repeating in that pattern. It can give a nice effect at times.
