Are there any good techniques for "closing" rails that are only associated with a slab opening only (i.e. not stairs) so that:
- corner mullion
- top rail
- adjacent panels
See image attached.
Thanks,

You'll have to start your railing not at the corners, but at the node you added on one of the edges.

You can overcome this if you make an additional point on one of the sides. It will now close properly, BUT: at the cost of an additional post at this node. (you might be able to delete it in edit mode, but that depends on your design of course)
Also you can't use the magic wand. You have to do the railing by hand (it's still associated tho).

I am really trying to get a profile (see image) to turn corners of a closed polygon ... was having issues with the curtail wall tool so I tried with the rail tool.
I will try to use the curved glass profile as a mullion instead of a panel in the CW tool, but I am having trouble understanding the cutting planes.
This could be a job foe the grasshopper connection, but I was trying to keep the workflow easy for the concept phase;)
