Hi all -

can anybody advise how to achieve the attached. I need to show a timber paling balustrade/railing where the top of the railing is curved in elevation - please see attached.
Any input would be appreciated.


TIA

Create as a curtain wall... edit the profile to achieve the shape, the palings will be mullions and the panels will be empty.

Only other way would be a family (either in-place or external)

Try do it as a Baluster Panel Family. IMO much easier.

Since the top of the wall seems to curve in an irregular fashion I'd use a custom wall type with associated model pattern of vertical lines. Edit the wall profile and then apply custom profile (representing the handrail) to the top.

Unless the wall is curving in plan as well...then editing the wall profile wouldn't be so straight forward...
