Railing and Stair Connection Problem

Sefa Yakut
Enthusiast

Hello everyone
When I hold down the spacebar in Archicad and draw the railing, I see that there are problems in the details of the junction with the staircase. How can I fix this? Is there any way to fix these struts other than converting the railing to static and fixing it one by one in 3D?

Others may have better luck with the wand, but I've had unexpected results with 'wizards' ever since they were created in software.  I take it a bit slower by implementing the railing tool and snapping to the points I want.  Takes time, but once I have a stair and rail I like, I'll save to Favorites.

You can try the following:

In the segment settings:

1/ Set pattern length to number of steps

2/ Set start from center to get post in the middle of step
