Previously I created a Thread to figure out why the inner posts of my railing weren't showing up in 3D. After trying all of the responses without any solutions I closed the thread. Since then I have been doing some thinking about the issue and thought maybe the issue could be the script that creates the railing. To that end I opened AC and then went to open the railing object. To my surprise I found scripts for all of the components (post, rail, etc.) but I couldn't find a script that puts all of the components together. Since all objects are based on GDL scripts my assumption was that there would be a script that calls the other scripts for the components to create a single object where components can be edited using the specification page. I looked but couldn't find such a script. Is there such a script and if so where would I find and open it? This thread could be in the wrong forum but I didn't find a "development" forum. If it is in the wrong forum could a "moderator" move it to the correct forum. Thanks. Appreciation for any help.

The railing tool (same with stair and curtain wall tools) is what controls the amalgamation of the component objects.
Basically it is like an add-on but is hard coded into the program as a tool.
There is nothing we can do to change how it works but you can create/amend the GDL objects used for the components.
