Changing the Location of a Railing

Use this procedure to relocate a railing by changing the coordinate values of its insertion point. The railing also has an
orientation with respect to the WCS or the current UCS. For example, if the top and bottom of the railing are parallel
to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the orientation of the railing by aligning its normal
with another axis. You can also rotate the railing on its plane by changing the rotation angle.
For information about the world coordinate system (WCS) and the user coordinate system (UCS), see Use Coordinates
and Coordinate Systems" in AutoCAD help.
NOTE You can change the location of freestanding railings only. The location of a railing attached to a stair is defined by the
stair.
1 Select the railings you want to relocate, and double-click one of them.
2 Expand Basic, and expand Location.
3 Enter a value for Rotation.
4 Enter a value for Elevation.
5 Click Additional Information for further location properties:
If you want to
relocate the railing
locate the railing on the XY plane

Then
enter new coordinate values under Insertion Point.
make the normal of the railing parallel to the Z axis: under
Normal, enter 1 for Z, and enter 0 for X and Y.
make the normal of the railing parallel to the X axis: under
