besides making EVERY LITTLE bit and piece of this railing a part of objects...how best to accomplish (see red question).

Just draw it in 2d (elevation) and transform it with truss maker.
It's easy.

The only limitation is that it is not adjustable on the fly.
Enjoy!

I guess you are then taking the approach to create a "truss" for the stair railing in angle?
Thing is...that then I'd have to determine the exact "midpoints" of the vertical pickets and the horizontal members so that I when I create the "truss" to be used as a "stair railing" it'll offset the proper amount.
So, if my steel picket members are say 1/4" thick, then the linework that is used to create the truss needs to be inboard by 1/8" in order for the truss to expand outward properly?
Yeah...and the non-parametrics on the fly don't help.

I'm trying to create a CUSTOM RAIL (Balluster or panel) in AC21. It's a repeated pattern as shown below. First I thought I'd just draw this as a PROFILE and the Balluster will display this at a regular interval... But the profiles extrude UP and not FACE ON... ugh...
So dug deeper and see that you can call up SUB COMPONENTS for RAIL PANELS... ok... I'll just create some slabbies and save as a RAIL COMPONENT... Wait... there is no RAIL COMPONENT Save as? Looking the the MANUAL... I see that your supposed to do that with MORPHS... ok.. I make them a MORPH... But once again... there is no SAVE STAIR COMPONENT option. The manual clearly shows it available but it's on a WINDOWS platform... Is this NOT available for MAC?
Then, I presume that if I just create an old style OBJECT, I can just redefine it's SUBTYPE and I'm golden... but yet again... there are several RAIL RAILING options for subtypes, but NONE make it show up for the railing tool...
Any advise welcome...

Now what I'm seeing is that the FACE of the rail is set to the reference line, which puts it HALF A RAIL THK off center... Tried to just make an adjustment in the MOTIF obj... but no matter where I "MOVE" it to... it always thinks the FACE is 0...
I know this is alway USER ERROR for me... so be kind!
Just using the OFFSET CENTERLINE shifts the entire railing off the centerline... not just the motif

I found the HORIZ. OFFSET in the railing settings...
Good for now... Lots more to learn
