Railing on an angle?

[Chad Smith]

I have a wall that has the top profile at an angle (i.e. low at the bottom, high at the top).
What I need to do is place a handrail that runs along that angle. See attached image.

How would I go about doing this? Should I be creating an in-place family?

Walls should be allowed to host railings. One wonders if this will ever get fixed.
You could try topping the sloping wall with a thin sloping floor. You could even try burying the floor in the wall. Then offset your railing as needed.

Agreed. While this is the first time I have needed this, I can think of other different situations where this feature would be handy.
I'm off to the Wishlist to add this.

Good idea, I just spent 1/2 the day doing railings for two ada ramps that were pretty long on this topic.

Time we did a poll for this one. Jeez we need this on a daily basis, and the work around of the thin floor with slope arrow, is just time consuming, and irritating.
PS. Kroke, turn around!

I believe that you can have a railing aligned/hosted by a reference plane? At least I think it was that way at one time.

I think hosting by a wall would be a good wishlist item.

I would make the railing sketch over the stair, let the stair host it, then modify the rail to have all the pieces have an offset large enough to move all the pieces to the center of the wall.

Unfortunately it doesnt work. But i suggest a family with an angle parameter

Pick stairs as a host and it will work ;)
