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. The Split tool can be used on a railing without editing the sketch. When the split tool is used, separate railing sketches will be created automatically. Railings hosted to multistory stairs are grouped to match the groups in the multistory stair. Editing the sketch of these railings will alter the entire group. The railing type can be changed for individual railings. Press Tab to select a railing with the group. 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.
