If you are only using it for elevations and CD"s then I would use a complex profile to generate the form. If you need it for a 3D rendering, then this won't work too well.

Can you use displacement maps?<BR /> What views will you need of it?<BR /> Does it need to be per code?<BR /> <BR /> <A href="http://www.cre8play.com/userfiles/files/Branch%20Railing%20Cut%20Sheet%28842%29.pdf" target="_blank"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.cre8play.com/userfiles/files ... 842%29.pdf">http://www.cre8play.com/userfiles/files/Branch%20Railing%20Cut%20Sheet%28842%29.pdf</LINK_TEXT></A><BR /> <BR /> ?
