'Rail Structure (Non-Continuous)' - F.Profile.Egress Path
Utilizes a 'Height' of 1/32" within 'Edit Rails' to align seamlessly with the circle and arrow balusters. This adjustment is necessitated by the construction of the profile family being below the horizontal reference plane
Baluster Start Post - F.Baluster.Post.Egress Start Circle - Top - Rail 1
Baluster Corner Post - None - Top - Rail 1
Baluster End Post - F.Baluster.Post.Egress End Arrow - Top - Rail 1
Note: Instead of using a 'Top Rail', 'Rail Structure (Non-Continuous)' is used for consistency with F.Railing.Accessible Route

Forum uses 'Railings 'because of their built in 'Length' parameter that is the total distance. This method avoids adding up multiple line segments, increasing efficiency
Future test case: Use 'Pipe' instead of 'Railing'
Future test case: Use 'Path of Travel' instead of 'Railing'

The Rectangle Clear Floor Space With Knee/Toe Clearance has the same parameters and keynotes as F.GMOD.Clear Floor Space.Rectangle.
For clearance zones with knee/toe profiles, the geometry is split into two separate extrusions to achieve proper graphic display. This is done so the clear floor space can appear cleanly in plan without being obscured by the knee/toe clearance solid. The bottom extrusion represents the clear floor space and is extruded up to 9", which marks the beginning of the knee/toe profile. This portion is visible in plan using 'Visibility/Graphics Overrides' in the family. The top extrusion represents the knee/toe profile and includes the required 80" vertical clearance. This portion is turned off in plan using 'Visibility/Graphics Overrides' in the family. This method ensures the clear floor space displays cleanly in plan views, while the full clearance zone with the knee/toe profile appears correctly in elevations, sections, and 3D views.
