Modify a railing by editing the path, railing structure, and railing properties.
By modifying the railing structure, you can change the height of the railing, the shape used for each rail (profile), and the number of rails. You can use sketch tools to customize the path of the railing, and apply overrides to the railing joins, where required. Modify the railing system type properties to access the Rail Structure and Baluster Placement dialogs, as well as to customize top rail or handrail specifications.
The topics in this section describe modifications to the railing system. For information on modifying a continuous rail (top rail or handrail), see Modifying a Continuous Rail.
To reset the railing after making instance property changes
- In a plan view or 3D view, select the railing.
- On the Tools panel, click
(Reset Railing). Instance overrides are removed. Changes made to the railing type, including structural changes, are not removed with this tool.
