Stair Railing Segments and Nodes - Introducing an 'End" somewhere in the Middle

Aaron Bourgoin

I'm creating exit stairs and am trying to keep the railings completely associative so that they can adapt to conditions that are a-typical and retain most or all of their configuration.

The outer rails fasten to the wall of the shaft and I've magic wanded a railing to the outside boundary of the stair. I then converted this to individual segments and nodes and removed the railings where I don't need them.

Trouble is, I cannot assign an end to the railings at the tops of the flights. They should return to the wall as they do at the bottom of the stairs. We've tried adding additional nodes to do this, but while the whole rail system remains Associative, we're unable to finish the "ends" in the "middle.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. When this is finished, I'd be happy to share.
