Railing ends and connections

R Muller
Enthusiast
I am confused by railing Ends and Connections. If I omit the top rail in one segment of the rail (to make a gate), how can I configure the ends of the top rails on either side? Would these be Ends or would they be Connections? Somehow I can't seem to select anything that allows me to create an overhang of the top rail.

Is it best to work on top rail connections in 3D or in plan view? I am having a hard time selecting them except for handrail connections, which I have been able to modify.

Do the original connections disappear when you delete the middle section of the toprail? Maybe change to a twin post, then delete the inner post?
