I use library to make railing for my project. The problem is the railing from the library cannot adjust the long. I also try to strage, but it doesn't work. How to make a workable railing?

Ashley:
I found this part in the Stairmaker Handrails folder (in the 03 Concrete folder), so I guess it is intended to be used as a part of Stairmaker, and not on its own. The length parameter is greyed out, but if you click on the "General Parameters" triangle in the Parameters section, there is a parameter "Length of Rail Axis" which can be used to change the length. I noticed that the greyed out length parameter shows 1 foot longer than this dimension, so you will need to experiment to see which dimension is the true length of the railing.

then, can we make our own railing? If we can, could you show me how to make railing step by step? Thank you!

Maybe for propping a kennel or stable.
At least if you're going for realism...

If you place it on the plan and select the railing, some diamond hot spots will appear, which by selecting them you can modify the parameters graphically or numerically.

I did able to motify, but not able to streach the railing which make some railing go through the wall. It looks so wrong.

1. Grab the middle hotspot at the end and drag with arrow tool. Some railings have stretchy hotspots at the position of the last post

2. Measure the distance and change the length in parameters; check whether the overhang at the ends is included or not

Thank you! that solve some of my problem.
I also need to make railing for curve balcony as the picture that I attach. Is there anyway that I can make my own railing? Is it hard to make our own railing?

If the standard curved railing fits design wise, the "only" thing you have to do is to set the parameters right.

If not, you can build your railing out of curved walls and slabs and objects, save it as object or a module if it is to be redefined/refined later.
