I created an associated railing with balusters. How do I delete the balusters that are against the wall? I was thinking I could select a single segment and delete the balusters from that segment, but I can't select a single segment. When I try, all segments are selected. Or is this the incorrect methodology?<BR /><BR />Thanks!</DIV> Fri, 19 May 2023 20:18:27 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Railing-Tool-How-do-I-delete-the-balusters-on-a-portion-of-the/m-p/224889#M166571 svpribyl 2023-05-19T20:18:27Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Railing-Tool-How-do-I-delete-the-balusters-on-a-portion-of-the/m-p/224890#M166572 <BLOCKQUOTE>svpribyl wrote:<BR /> I was thinking I could select a single segment and delete the balusters from that segment, but I can't select a single segment.
