AC21 Railing Associative Objects

Hi all,

Is there a way to limit what railings are associative with? Railings are usually one of the last things placed and they often snap to objects that are displayed at the front instead of the floor it is enclosing...

When placing the railing you should see the 'Multiple elements (TAB)' dialogue if there are multiple nodes (not so with edges).
So you can use the TAB button to cycle through to what you want to associate to.

Did not notice that dialogue... So that solves half the instances... They should make it so that you can lock it to the first object associated.
