Redistributing Posts on a Railing

Use this procedure to reposition dynamic posts to account for posts that have been added or removed. You cannot
redistribute displayed posts to account for hidden posts.
You may also want to redistribute posts after dragging the endpoints (start and end offset) of a railing attached to a
stair. If posts are lost after trimming a railing, use the Redistribute Posts command to restore the posts.
If you have created a railing that is so short that only one post can be created, grip-editing and dragging the railing
does not create another post. You must use the Redistribute Posts command to add another post to the end of the
railing.
1 Select an existing railing.
2 Right-click, and click Redistribute Posts.

Hiding Posts

Use this procedure to hide posts in a railing. It is useful to hide posts in plan view so that the railing is visible as a solid
component. These posts are not deleted; they are merely hidden from view. You can only hide fixed posts. You cannot
hide dynamic posts. If the current first or last fixed post is hidden, then it remains the first or last fixed post regardless
of its visibility.
1 Select a railing.
2 Right-click, and click Post Placement

Showing Hidden Posts

Use this procedure to show hidden posts.
1 Select a railing.
2 Right-click, and click Post Placement

Reversing the Direction of the Railing

Use this procedure to reverse the direction of the railing to change the location of railing components. The direction
in which the railing is drawn affects the behavior of the railing and its components.
NOTE You can also reverse the direction of a railing by clicking its direction grip (arrow grip).
1 Select a railing.
2 Right-click, and click Reverse.

Anchoring an Existing Railing to a Stair

Use this procedure to anchor an existing railing to a stair. Once attached, the railing stays where it is located in the
drawing, but it moves when the attached stair is moved. This allows you to create free-form paths for a railing along a
stair. For example, you might want to create a curved railing in the middle of a straight stair.
Railings attached to stairs respect the stair cut plane. The height of the railing follows the slope of the stair, no matter
where the posts are placed on the treads.
