Before drawing the railing, the railing types are selected and used from the library. You can also create your own railing types In addition, for the railing types that are not available in the library. The basic rationale , new railing types are created. A typical railing, the shape of which is shown below, will be created step by step, and the basic logic of creating a new railing type of railing will be revealed by creating a typical railing step by step in the program.

Creating Railing Type 1
...
There are 4 handrails of 2x2 cm and two railing profiles of 6x4 cm in the selected railing type. Create profiles in 2x2 cm and 6x4 cm dimensions and save them in the archive.

Creating Railing Profiles
In the baluster profiles table, go to the first row named N = 1 and click the profile column.
Select the 4x6 cm sized profile that we previously defined and saved to the archive from the drop-down list.
In the baluster profile table, go to the second row named N = 2.
In the Distance column, type a value of 1.2, the distance between the two rails.
Click on the profile column and select the 4x6 cm profile from the list.
The second baluster will be formed. The image of the railing can be viewed on the right in the dialog.

Rail Profiles
In the rail profiles table, in the first row named N = 1, make the height 1 meter and click the profile column.
Select the 2x2 cm sized profile that we previously defined and saved to the archive from the drop-down list.
Click the Copy button under the table. The 2nd line will be formed.
In line 2, enter 0.75 in height and confirm that 2x2 cm is selected as the profile. (Same happened because we copied the line)
Click the Copy button under the table. The 3rd line will be formed.
In line 3, write the height 0.50 and confirm that 2x2 cm is selected as the profile.
Click the Copy button under the table. The 4th line will be formed.
In line 4, enter 0.25 in height and confirm that 2x2 cm is selected as the profile.
After this process, the process of creating the rail type is finished. The image of the railing can be viewed on the right in the dialogue.

Creating Railing Type 2
Using the created railing to make the railing shown below:
...
The numbers shown in the figure in the horizontal and vertical directions are the index numbers of the handrail rails and balusters. (These are the values that will appear as N in the table)
Creating Balusters
In the baluster profile table;
First, two balusters will be added in between.
On the N = 2 line, click the Copy To Front button 2 times to add 2 more railing profiles.
Come to the line N = 2 and make the distance value 20 cm. Click on the profile column and select the 2x2 cm profile.
Come to the line N = 3 and make the distance value 80 cm. Click on the profile column and select the 2x2 cm profile.
Come to the line N = 4 and make the distance value 20 cm.
...

Adding 2 more balusters by clicking the Add Before button 2 times while in the N = 2 line  |
Writing 0.2 as the distance value for the line N = 2 and selecting 2x2 cm as the profile  |
Writing 0.8 as the distance value for the line N = 3 and choosing 2x2 cm as the profile  |
Writing 0.2 as the distance value for the line N = 4  |

Arrangement of Rails
Left/right rails index numbers must be changed to match the figure. These appear in the table by default.
...
Point to the 2nd rail row.
Set the left rail index value to 2 by selecting it from the list. This change means that the rail in the 2nd row will end at the 2nd railing from the left. Likewise, make the Right rail index 3.
Come to the 3rd rail row.
Select the left rail index value from the list and set the right rail index value to 3.
Usage step |
|---|
Selecting the left baluster index value as 2 from the list and the right baluster index value from the list when N = 2 line  |
Selecting the left baluster index value as 2 from the list and the right baluster index value from the list when N = 3 line  |

Arrangement of Balusters
In the rail profile baluster table;
Click row 2.
Select the lower base rail index value from the list to set it to 4.
Similarly click on row 3.

Creating Railing Type 3
Making a railing with plates:
As the third type, the The construction of a railing with a glass panel in the middle will be explained as the third type. Paneled railing will be obtained by making changes on the railing that we created earlier.
