Strange behavior with balusters

[cv2702]

As usual, I feel I'm missing something obvious for you pro's.

 

I need to change the balusters on an existing stair railing and I get the attached result.  I tried to search the forum for previously reported issues but got nothing.

 

I tried X10, just in case, with same results.  I then started with a blank plan and edited the default baluster and I get the same duplicated parallel railing result.  It's the same result regardless of what I select from the library.

 

OK, tell me, what did I miss?

Attaching a sample plan ...

Here's the sample plan, but anyone could simply go to defaults, change the balusters to whatever and see the results in 3D preview.  When troubleshooting, I try to bring it back to the bare bones to eliminate as many personalizations as possible.

 

Now, what am I missing?

Under " Railing" change to "Panels" then under Newels/Balusters change "panels" to Your Pole style

If you just want round balusters just keep the "balusters" in the "railing tab and changes the style to baluster and type to round.

Thanks Solver & Kenoeightspot,  a step in the right direction.

 

The side effect of this approach is that not all balusters anchor down on the stairs.  I guess this reflects a panel's behavior.

 

An option could be to use a bottom rail, but that's not the standard look I'm looking for.  So why can't I simply change the baluster with another baluster symbol from the library?

Use my second suggestion if you just want round balusters.

Never mind... Change the standard balusters to round ¾", paint them black.
