I need some help. I am drawing a set of stairs that have a straight run with a 6 foot outer radius arc at the bottom. i have used slabs and walls to make the stair case, but am having difficulty with how to make a railing. Any help? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Have you tried using the railing library parts? Most have a curved option under 'general dimensions' in the library part parameters.

If it is something more ornate, perhaps use a complex profile wall for the handrail, and individually place the posts and balusters using tall thin columns if circular/square, or if it is a turned style of baluster use another complex profile wall that is rotated around a central point.

Hope that helps.
