This, railings with newels and balusters affixed to deck rims, has been addressed before, more than once.  There are easy workarounds involving invisible railing walls and other tricks.  
 

Do a search but use good search terms like deck fascia.

The railings can be calibrated with offsets in every direction. 

 

  1. Offset the railing
  2. Offset the balusters (in the vertical axis).
  3. Offset the newel posts (in the vertical axis). 

 

 

The balusters may not be chamfered as in the real world condition, but the design intent will be close. 

 

The settings are below. Baluster spacing by Chief is 5" on center by default. 

 

The first attachment shows them at 4" vs. the second image which shows 5" on center. 

 

It also appears in the as-built photos that the newels may drop down just a tad more. 

 

Good luck with this!

I forget.  Could we offset in X14.  Newell can answer.

 

I think 14 allows this as feature as well. Not sure. The OP said that they're using 15 even though the signature indicates otherwise.

 

Per your initial reply, (years ago before these rail options came out) 3D solids were the answer. One could make the baluster as a solid, hit copy replicate, and that was that. 

 

BTW... that red arrow didn't come from me. I personally wish that they would do away them. Hopefully the red tomato won't ever cause discouragement from contributing my friend. 

 

-All the best.
