What I mean is to have the profile of the post extrude paralel to the refference line of the rail rather than paralele to the vertical axis of the post. I'm pretty shure this can't be done, but I'm interested in a clever workaround if there is one.</P><P>Thank you.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT face="courier new,courier" color="grey">Operating system used: <EM>Windows </EM></FONT></P><P> </P><P><BR /><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Rail.jpg" style="width: 913px;"><img src="https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/84008i8E5F758E5292696D/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Rail.jpg" alt="Rail.jpg" /></span></P> Thu, 06 Mar 2025 07:56:08 GMT Titiriga 2025-03-06T07:56:08Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Rail-Horizontal-profiles/m-p/654105#M176076 <P>Hello</P><P>Is there a way to use the Rail tool to apply profiled posts in the hrizontal plane like in the sketch?
