I am working on a residence and trying to easily create log railings for a large deck. I seem to recall seeing a way to make the standard vertical railing with round elements but cannot come across a way to accomplish. Any suggestions?
or
I have just scratched the surface of GDL. Could I duplicate the standard railing and modify the script to allow round elements?
Thanks.

Which railing object are you referring to?
This would be a good candidate for you to dabble in some GDL.
1. Open an existing handrail object that closely resembles what you need.
2. "Save As" to a new name.
3. Edit/Add to the code per your needs.
4. "Save".
5. Test.
6. Enjoy.
Good luck, happy scripting.

It uses the Log walls - in combination with the columns, quite a proper railing!
Warning: log walls (of course) work only on straight walls, so you will have to approximate any curved segments with polygons. One does that in real life too.

Thanks for the suggestions. Yesterday before receiving the replys I experimented with the log wall, column route and it worked quite well. I will go back in and goof around with scripting this weekend.
