I had previously found a revit file that used a railing to create dentil molding, I thinik it was even from AUGI. It worked great in 2008. However Autodesk has changed something in the railings and it no longer works.
The error I get is:
Top reference is below Bottom reference for one or more Balusters. These Balusters are not created. Height of Top reference + Top Offset must be greater than Base reference + Base offset. If references and offsets are correct, swap top and bottom.
The molding used to work like this:
1) a rail profile was created that was used for the top piece (above the dentil) and provided the continuous back piece for the "teeth".
2) The teeth were balusters placed x" o.c.
3) the teeth were placed in front of the rail (with top and bottom offsets for height)
It seems that you can no longer put a baluster directly in front of the railing. It has to have a top and bottom offset above/below the rail to show up in front of it. If you have either a top or bottom offset that is above/below the rail just that side shows up, which ruins the point anyway.
I have confirmed it is 2009 issue because if I open it in 2008 it works (I can copy it, modify it, create new) but none of those things work in 2009. I have tried a variety of things and am out of ideas. I have uploaded the file. I'd appreciate if anyone has any resolution or could point me in the right direction.
