Railing is one of the most complex architectural element. You can control in Properties dialog how balusters and posts are arranged along a railing. The railing beginning and end point depends on which way you drew the railing.
It enables creating repeated and individual elements such as:
1 Periodically repeated elements (Primary balusters)
2 Placing posts inside primary periods (Intermediate balusters)
3 Individual panels and bars (Individual panels and bars button)
4 Newel posts as separators between primary periods (Newel post at the turn)
5 Balusters by big steps
On every pages you can use the following options:

With this option each modification on the Railing will be visible immediately in the preview window. |
Update  |
You can update the 3D model in the preview window manually. |
Preview mode  |
Select from wireframe, hidden line removal, textured or no preview options. The 3D model of the Railing will be represented in the preview window according to the selection. |
 Increase or decrease the height of all balusters |
You can increase or decrease the height of all balusters, panels and bars, handrail at once, relatively to their defined heights. To do so, click the checkbox, enter a height value (positive or negative) in the input field and click the update button or press Enter. |

| Display section lengths when edit on layout |
Use this option for automatic dimensioning of the Railing on the floor plan. |
| Elevation of handrail reference point from the floor or from the selected stair | You can define the elevation of Railing relative to the stair if hosted, or the path of Railing. When you place a Railing by path, the elevation is measured from the active storey. |
| Distribution of balusters by stair steps |
