To Change the Anchor Properties of a Railing

Use this procedure to change the justification of a railing and the side, start, and end offsets. These properties apply only to railings attached to stairs.

1. Double-click the railing for which you want to change the anchor properties.
2. On the Properties palette, click the Design tab, expand Basic, and expand Location.
3. Click Anchor.
   

4. Change the justification of the railing.
5. Change the side offset from the stair:
   • A value of zero places the start and end fixed posts exactly at the ends of the stair.
   • Positive values move the start/end onto the stair.
   • Negative values extend the railing beyond the stair bounds.
   Note: If Automatic is selected, the start and end offset options are not available.
6. Change the start offset from the top of the stair.
7. Change the ending offset at the bottom of the stair.
8. Click Redistribute Posts to change the existing posts.
   Note: If you edit a railing using grips so that the railing does not end on a post, you can use Redistribute Posts to move a post to the end of the edited railing.
9. Click OK.
