Adding A Custom Profile To A Railing Style - Autodesk 24108-051400-9000 - AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite 2008 User Manual

If you want to
represent a bottom rail with the block
The two groups of components are mutually exclusive, so selecting an object from one column makes the
other unavailable. You can select more than one object in each column to apply the block to each selected
component. For example, you can use the same block for the main posts and dynamic posts.
17 Specify where the block is applied to the components:
If you want to
apply the block to all instances of the selected components
apply the block to the first instance of the selected
component, based on the direction the railing was drawn
apply the block to the last instance of the selected
component, based on the direction the railing was drawn
apply the block to a selected number of components
18 Click OK twice.
After adding the block to the style, you can specify the layer, color, and linetype of the block. For more
information, see

Adding a Custom Profile to a Railing Style

Use this procedure to add a custom profile to a railing style in the Plan display representation. You can replace one or
more railing components with a custom profile, or you can assign different custom profiles to different railing
components.
You can use a profile to replace a component on the Components tab of the Railing Styles dialog box, or you can use
a profile to represent additional railing components in the display of railings. You add a profile to the display properties
of a style; a component that you replace on the Components tab is already a part of the display properties.
For more information about creating profiles for railing components, see
Component" on page 1278.
