    Greeting XL Nation.
    I'm making a tour boat which is mostly used in my country.

    Anyways, I have a trouble with making rails (wooden or metal) on the edges of the boat, I don't know how to make it. Is there any short cut to make rail on my model? Thanks for further replies, good day :)

    yes theres an option to do them. BUT: its not recommended for cxl.
    Just create a 2-sided plane having the dimensions of the rail and apply a opacity map on it.

    yes.
    1. create a 2-sided plane or a "box" with only 2 sides
    2. attach it to the rest of your boat and if necessary deform it so it fits well
    3. apply a opacity map on those polygons
    4. apply the diffuse map on those polygons
