Rails offset: how to manage on stairs & balconies

[CV-reno]

I have a balcony I need to reproduce where the railings (platform & stairs) need to be centered on the posts supporting the roof.  See attached.  I can offset the newels, but the railing won't follow.  I can shift the railings but the balcony and stairs will shrink/expand (BTW, what's the use of offsetting newels?).  I've looked at all the options, but dead end.

 

I know I can 'fudge' this by 'constructing objects' to get the result, but should I need to do this?  Simple solution?

Hi Eric,

 

Signature updated.  The PDF was not meant to be, was aiming for the image of, but screwed up.  BTW, thanks for always being here; do you ever sleep?

 

Not sure I understand your suggestion.  Increasing the 'wall width' will not shift the railing on the stairway or balcony base, which is what I'm after; and BTW, how to you get to that DBX for a staircase?.  I may have missed the essence of your message, it is late, sorry.

For the balcony ramps, I struggled with your suggestion ... until I realized I also needed to uncheck this.  Happiness now.

 

Thanks!
