No image attached, I would have created the stringer using the same method as you. You can use the rails to create the cables, use a circular profile with the appropriate diameter. Can you clarify your third question - if there are no balusters then switch them off.

Well for some weird reason my rvt file isnt being uploaded??? but here is what Im trying to create.. So how would I position the cables in the method to create them and how would I connect the baulsters to the custom stringers that I created.

I created a standard stair and set the stringers and risers to off. In the rail elements I went into Balusters and set the distance between them to about two meters and applied a round profile (you can create your own baluster family to have the shape that you want, with the holes and the angled base). Under rails, I applied a round handrail and applied additional rails for the cables and stringer.

Okay thats wonderful and its about 97% what I need.. Except this: The stringers are false railings i used them to create a "Custom C-Channel " beam for the railings When I use the rails for the custom stringers i have to turn off the baulsters show they dont pop up on the stringers below the stairs. So would I create a different profile for the baulsters and load it to the existing custom stairs? And why isnt my attached rvt file coming thru with replies??

You balusters are set so that they use the profile as the top under the balusters dialogue box. Set them to attach to the relevant rail, such as the hand rail, or give them a top height offset above the profile.

Cool - getting there. You can also create balusters that will align with the stringers and with a flat connection on top to join to the handrail.

I want the baulsters to overlap the stringers but to create a flat top ...I do what? The image below is going to be the final product, I will add bolts to the baulsters and change them some.
