Morph as guardrail

Anonymous
Not applicable
So far in my testing, I've got the morph tool to do a basic stair guardrail as shows in the attachment.
I seem to have control of it for basic railing but not for inside wall of a winder stair.
ie; I'm trying to get railing to turn at 45degrees on the horizontal, and at the same time drop at the rake angle of the stair.
Is it possible to get both these angles while drawing in 3D?
(I've tried to modify in combination with 2d with no luck so far.)

Partial solution.
In 2d I split the pre-raked morph railing to the stair angle, then rotated lower section 45 degrees, then stretched the outer nodes to to what seemed like a common point, but could not get the 3d joining point to look correct.
I asked, is there an intersect command for two morphs that I'm missing?
Updated: Yes, just found some great Morph commands: Design>Modify Morph>.... 😄
