Gaps and strange geometry between handrail nodes

ARix
Newcomer

Hi,

 

I am modelling a relitively complex handrail in an existing building. I am modelling this using a custom profiled handrail. This works well except that between each node there are strange gaps and geometries when it should just be a smooth run all the way up.

 

I have tested almost every variation of railing settings, node setting handrail settings and they all just make the problem worse and introduce new more complicated geometric issues. I know I could just model it in Rhino and import it as an object, but I am surprised that ArchiCAD struggles with what is essentially just a profile following a line. I am very happy to use other tools to model it in archiCAD but I tried using a beam and it wouldnt allow me to curve it in two dimensions.

 

Hopefully I have overlooked something obvious and there is a simple fix! 

 

Images of the issue are attatched. 

 

Thanks in advance!
