Come on GS. I"m a fan of you guys...ok, let me start by stating that.

But.....I just a "NEW" 5-1/2 minute video about "railings in AC21" and it spoke about "nodes" for the entire duration of the video?.....come on guys. Please. I've asked and begged for a video describing HOW to use the railing in AC21 and what are all the key features such as segments, rails, posts, top rails...etc... and how to set them up. We need THAT type of tutorial. NOT a 5 minute schpeel on "nodes"....please.

It seems that if you place the inner posts first --" this helps establish a segment"

Then add the panel it works and the pattern distribution buttons are available.

Yes, you need to place an Inner Post. Multiple Inner Posts may be placed. The rightmost Inner Post will define the pattern Length.

Not placing an Inner Post may be useful when you want, for example, a series of Balusters from Railing bottom to top, as in case of certain types of Stair Railings.
