Railing object is included in several tools such as Line Rail, Stair Rail and Stair tools.
Railing object is a very comprehensive and versatile tool for creating custom railings, which can be assembled from the following parts:
Railing - is a top handrail
Sub-Rail - is a rail or rails between the upper handrail and the ground
Posts - are usually placed in the corners of the rail segments
Sub-Posts - are usually placed inside the segments of the rail
Filling - is a solid surface inside of rail
Railing Preset - library of railing object parameters
High - top level of the railing
Low - lowest level of the railing
Offset - side shift of the railing
Railing - to enable handrail
Size - handrail profile dimension
Extend - extension on beginning and the end of the handrail
Sub-Rail - to enable supporting rails
Size - sub-rail profile dimension
Extend - sub-rail extension
High Drift - vertical shift of the highest sub-rail
Low Drift - vertical shift of the lowest sub-rail
Count - total count of sub-rails
Posts - to enable corner posts
L-Shape - the post will be L-shaped with a hook on the bottom
Size - post profile dimension
Placement - defines how posts are distributed along the rail
Sub-Posts - to enable supporting posts
L-Shape - the sub-post will be L-shaped with a hook on the bottom
Segment Step - the lower sub-post level is aligned with the lowest point of the incident rail segment
Size - sub-post profile dimension
Placement - defines how posts are distributed along the rail
High Drift - vertical shift of the top of the sub-post
Low Drift - vertical shift of the bottom of the sub-post
Start-End Drift - shift along the rail of the sub-post on beginning and the end the rail segment
Divide - defines the method of distribution of sub-posts along rail segment
Distance (aprox) - approximate distance between sub-posts (Absolute mode)
Count - total count of sub-posts per segment (Relative mode)
Filling - to enable filling parts along rail segments
Thickness - filling thickness (if thickness is zero only flat polygon is generated)
Filling H - different methods how fillings are distributed horizontally (along rail)
Filling V - different methods how fillings are distributed vertically (from ground to handrail)
High Drift - vertical shift of the top of the filling
Low Drift - vertical shift of the bottom of the filling
Start-End Drift - shift along the rail of the filling on beginning and the end the rail segment
