Does anyone know how to get railing balusters to work like the railing in this Kundig building--that is, how to angle them 90 degrees to the angle of the stair run?  This is as close an image as I can find online.  Thanks.

The railing tool will not work for specialty railings like this.  Use the railing tool to make the railing only.  Then add ballusters seperately from a family you create.

Thanks WWHUB. Do you mean that the balusters--in this case both the posts and the verticals for the wire mesh--would need to be inserted separately same as a mass) and rotated in space without association to the railing? I think you're saying that the rail structure will handle it, because the rails run parallel to the run, but not the balusters?  Thanks for the clarification.
