Modifying Railing Height and Slope

You can control the height and slope of individual rail sketch lines. For example, on a set of U-shaped stairs,
you may want to set the inner railing to a different height than the outer railing. With slope adjustment,
you can control how the railing segment follows the slope of the stairs. You may want the segment to be
flat at some points or sloped at other points.
To modify railing height and slope
1 Open the plan view where the railing is located.
2 Select the railing, and on the Options Bar, click Edit.
3 Select a railing sketch line.
4 For Height Correction, select Custom.
5 Enter a value in the text box.
6 For Slope, select one of the following values:

and material properties.
NOTE A box appears around the join when you move your cursor over it. When the join is selected,
an X appears on the join.
Note that Height Correction is set to By Type. This indicates that height adjustment is controlled
by the railing type.
The text box adjacent to Height Correction is enabled.
By Host means that the railing segment follows the slope of its host (for example, stairs or
ramps).
