Hi, I'm working on a project for my Revit class. I am in need of either step by step instruction on creating a balustrade for a french chateau using curvy stone newel posts and a stop top rail, or if you have the family already created, could you please share.
This balustrade needs to work with stairs as well as guard rail.
Thank you
Elisa

Hi, you can visit my site (http://www.aecadvantage.com/links2) and scroll to the railings, stairs and balusters section. There are example files you can download to reverse engineer if you like. You can read this blog post (http://revitoped.blogspot.com/2008/08/concrete-balusters-and-railing.html) for background about the files at my site. HTH
