Inadequate balustrades...again!

Why doesn't AC10 have the same balustrades available in their stairs as they do as objects? It makes little sense to me.

I've attached an image of what I'm trying to do - the red lines indicate what I'm unable to accomplish with ANY of the AC10 objects OR Cadimage tools. I am one frustrated puppy at the moment.

You could make the balustrade using TrussMaker.
Make the bottom rail, balusters and the sub top rail
as one TrussMaker object and then make the top rail
also using TrussMaker then place the assembly on
a stair with no railings.

Thanks Peter.

Are you listening Graphisoft - how is this making my job easier?

Peter,
Why not make them all as one object? You can draw with multiple pens and each pen can be assigned a different profile.

You are right Richard.
I was just slightly unsure, in this context,
so suggested making two objects.
At that moment I did not have the
time to verify the one object approach.
Thanks,
