please take at look at the attached DWF. Does anyone have a clue on how to create a railing on the edge of the slab that i drawn with the spline tool? I can not seem to be able to pick it when I am in the edit/creation mode for the railing.

I called autodesk and they have yet to call me back with an answer.

Thanks

Edit the existing railing that you have on three sides and add lines to get the profile you have.

To make a new one...select railing and then draw in plan over the slab. Select set host and select the slab. this should work

Either way you will have to draw the plan profile for the railing..one easier way is to draw over the slab edge and then offset it.

hope this helps

I don't think you can use a spline as a path for a railing. You will need to replicate the spline with lines and arcs.

Joef is correvt. If you look at the sketch line options available for railings, a spline is not offered as an option.
