A complex profile is great for something like this. If you need to incline it, make it a beam.

A complex profile wall can but you can't slope a wall.

The add-on Objective works well, but in a pinch I have used the roof tool to make a curving rail.

Just draw the curved shape in plan and use that for the outline of your railing (magic wand the outline). It's not entirely accurate, but for a quick rendering for a client it works ok.

The roof tool allows you to also angle the edges.
