Handrail Post Orientation

[Lingwisyer]

Hi all,

Is there a way to control the rotation of posts within a handrail? As far as I have been able to find, the posts will always orientate to be parallel to the following reference line. Ideally, I am wanting the select posts to be orientated to bisect the corner.

eg. At a 135° corner, the post will be rotated 22.5° rather than staying square to the second reference line.

There isn't a way that I know of at the moment other than adding a separate corner post.

You would think it could be possible because if you have a curved handrail, the post will rotate to suit the curve.
The angle between straight railings must be obtainable as the rails themselves mitre correctly.
I am pretty sure that it could be sorted with some GDL to automate the corner post angle or add a parameter to allow for manual rotation (maybe even a hotspot) - but that may be easier said than done.

I have just realised that you can change each posts rotation within their individual edit settings. You cannot rotate it by eye though so you need to know the angle.

So many settings to go through.
Thanks for posting back.
