Sorry, Vivi, it's Complex profile.
The perfect tool for making railings!

Beir, I looked at that rail, but couldn't make out anything:) Wrong language for me. The AC rails are in AC11's "Metal 11" folder under "Stairmaker Handrails". The one I use is the "Rail Post with Balusters. You can set most everything, and it is stretchable. Maybe that will work for you. Much easier than custom making one.

Is there any way to map a railing to the perimeter of a slab like you can do with walls? I have a big fenced area and I don't want to sit there and insert 150 railing objects.

Thanks!

I think a railing tool would be very useful to have - draw your railing, instead of placing individual railing objects, and having to resolve baluster spacing issues after stretching. Or... use the magic wand to select a line or perimeter you want railed. Possibly have different corner conditions handled the way Cadimage uses the Foundation Builder tool with multiple profiles.

Copy one instance of the railing to where you need to start from.

Select it, and use the multiply tool.

Set it to 'Spread' and enter the spacing distance required.

Click a base point on plan (the railings' center) then click where it will finish.
