Controlling Placement Of Balusters And Posts; Creating A Custom Baluster Pattern - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

Controlling Placement of Balusters and Posts

You can control how balusters and posts are arranged along a railing. A simple baluster pattern is provided
with the default project template. You can use this pattern, modify it, or create a more complex pattern.
NOTE If you start a new project using a template, when you sketch a railing, balusters and posts are added by
default. If you start a project without a template, balusters and posts are not placed by default when you sketch
a railing.

Creating a Custom Baluster Pattern

1 In a plan view, select a railing, and on the Options Bar, click
2 In the Element Properties dialog, click Edit/New.
Flat means that the railing segment is horizontal, even if the host is sloped. For railings
similar to those in the following illustration, you may need to use height correction or edit
the railing join to join the railing where the stairs turn.
Sloped means that the railing segment is sloped, such that it makes a non-interrupted
connection with adjacent segments.
NOTE Changes made to type properties affect all railings of this type in the project. You can click
Duplicate to create a new railing type.
