Trying to Make Railing Horizontal

I'm trying to make horizontal railings for a deck however they keep making themselves sloped at the ends. I can't seem to find the setting to get the railings to not do that. Can someone suggest a solution? I'm new to Archicad but so far the good has outweighed the annoying things about Archicad. Thanks.

You can do this in your elavation view or in your 3D view along the Z-axis.

The railing will follow the blue reference kine.

On end is at the top of the slab and the other end as at the bottom.

You should be able to select the node at the end of the line and drag it up.

the main issue with any software is that it does what you tell it to do, not what you want it to do

Thank you Dontknow and Barry. I was able to find the move node tool in the pet pallet and make the adjustment in the elevation view. Thank you.
