To Change the Location of a Railing

Use this procedure to relocate a railing by changing the coordinate values of its insertion point. The railing also has an orientation with respect to the WCS or the current UCS. For example, if the top and bottom of the railing are parallel to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the orientation of the railing by aligning its normal with another axis. You can also rotate the railing on its plane by changing the rotation angle.

Note: You can change the location of freestanding railings only. The location of a railing attached to a stair is defined by the stair.

1. Select the railings you want to relocate, and double-click one of them.
2. On the Properties palette, click the Design tab, expand Basic, and expand Location.
3. Enter a value for Rotation.
4. Enter a value for Elevation.
5. Click Additional Information for further location properties:

   If you want to…	Then…
   relocate the railing	enter new coordinate values under Insertion Point.
   locate the railing on the XY plane	make the normal of the railing parallel to the Z axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Z, and enter 0 for X and Y.
   locate the railing on the YZ plane	make the normal of the railing parallel to the X axis: under Normal, enter 1 for X, and enter 0 for Y and Z.
   locate the railing on the XZ plane	make the normal of the railing parallel to the Y axis: enter 1 for Y, and enter 0 for X and Z.
   change the rotation of the railing	enter a new value for Rotation Angle.

6. Click OK.
