How to make horizontal railings for decks or (and) stairs?

[Nicu101268]

Is there a way to do this?

Of course there is. Create one "panel" and turn it into a symbol. Create your deck rail and choose to use your panel, or use your panel as a stand alone symbol on the edge of the deck. Multiple ways to handle this, and all fairly painless.

You will need to make a custom railing panel...

Thanks for the answers. In the meantime, I found this video that shows a way to get what I want.

Unfortunately I am a beginner and my native language is not English, so it will be very difficult.
I also need to always convert inches to millimeters because both types of measurement systems are not displayed in the video.

You're welcome. It isn't perfect, but it looks pretty good!

Hi All, I'm using Chief X16 and trying to do a horizontal baluster. I downloaded the calibz file shared above by @robdyck but cannot seem to apply it to my railing in my plan. Was thinking I could just use this file and modify it to get the look in my images, but with horizontal balusters. Can someone share some advice please? Thanks!
