You'd have to make an in-place family for that railing.

Oh hehe sorry. I was in a little hurry last night. In place families can be made under the modeling tab on the left hand side of the screen. If it's not there, you will have to right click in that area, then enable the modeling tab. Your railing is at an angle, so unless I have been completely missing it, the railings command will only do vertical and can't be rotated to the angle you would like. So making an in place model would cure this problem. Under the modeling tab, select "create" and a dialog box will pop up. You can select generic model and it should be fine. Hopefully you don't have to do many ballusters, but that is just a simple array command. Your handrail can be either a sweep or extrusion with your profile creating the handrail shape. Your ballusters can and probably should be an imported balluster family. Same with your newel posts if you have any. If I were to do it, I would make my in place handrail family straight up vertical and then just rotate the whole thing to the angle you need.

Thanks for the reply...I sort of get what your trying to say but i couldn't do it.. I understood how to create the profile for the handrail but i was confused about importing the ballusters and posts . So I ended up creating the "in place family" using specialty equipment instead of generic models. I was able to create a solid extrusion and then cut sections out to show ballusters. The problem with this is that its only one element and i cant edit the materials. So if you please explaing it would be a great help Framerman. Thanks

Sorry, it's been a late day today. Forget about importing a family for now. Make two in place families. One for the railing and one for the balluster. For the railing make an in place family using sweep or extrude. Make your profile you want, then rotate the profile BEFORE you select "finish sketch". To be honest, I was just pulling out my hair trying to rotate it myself AFTER I finished the model. So do the same with the balluster. If you have a profile, use that and create a solid revolve. if it's just a square balluster, then you can use a square and extrude it, or have it follow a sweep. And again, before you finish the in place family, rotate your profile to the angle you want. Sorry so short. It's been too long of a day. If you're still stuck, you can also email me. Here's a quick slanted railing but I'm not sure you have 2008 or not.
