How to make a lift with railings (transparent textures)?

Hi. I'm trying to create a lift with railings on the edges.
I'd like these railings to go up with the lift. I can see transparency in the textures I applied, but my railings do not go up. They stay put while the FLOOR inside goes up.
Maybe its because the transparent textures must be aplied in the GAP between solids in a sector?

Have you set the lower unpegged flag on the lines?

So as I understood your wad - you just apply a middle texture and make it unpassable?
Thenk you!

If you want the mid texture to move with the floor, you need to make it lower-unpegged. However, it has the drawback that the lower texture will not move, but "shrink" and "grow". To solve this, you can have the railing be a little bit away from the edges so that the lower textures aren't unpegged, the railing textures are.

For the railing textures, you can make them impassable, but it might be better to make them 3D middle textures instead.

A more complex setup is to make them attached 3D middle textures.
