If you are looking to adjust an existing railing part to a slope you must find one that has a parameter for this in the settings dialog. If it is not in the straight rail you are using there may be a sloping version in the library.

If you are editing your own custom library part this is more complex and you need to ask specific questions.

I quite often use the Trussmaker accessory to do these kind of railings. If you use different pen colours for the handrail, balusters and posts you can control the dimensions and shape of each type of element.

For curved in plan railings use the Profiler accessory / add-on

If the railing is curved in plan and going up a slope as well then you do need to resort to a full blown GDL object. If you have a copy of the GDL Cookbook there is a Spiral Railing object

All the best

Solution to your problem is profiler or ArchiForma for
horizontal bars and for the post you can simply use
column tool. Then group it together...

PS.
visit www.Archicad.com.hr it is always better to ask questions on
your native laungage

Also, if you use ArchiTerra, it has the wall following the terrain mesh ...

Shall we continue both on the Archicad.com.hr and here? 😉
