I need do draw these aluminium railings and other.
My problem is that they don't have corner posts. They have two posts with some distance offset from the corner.
I can only draw one of them with the default options.
I could create a special corner post, but I wouldn,t control the corner angle of the segments - 90degrees is ok, but only that.
Is there a way out of this?

...just noticed, sorry about they typing errors in the thread title!

What i have done at times is make a post family and place it where i want and attach railings to it. Much like it would be built in the field. So you would eliminate the posts in the railing dialog. It's less automatic, but if you build the post family with parameters you can get very good results.

When you draw the railing sketch line, just draw it to where you want the end post to be, then continue drawing lines - in the railing properties - baluster placement - select 'break pattern at" "Each Segment end" and "corner post" "none" - should do what you require

Thank you both.
Alex solution seems almost perfect.
