Click the Railing Tool icon to open its main Settings page, whose left side displays a detailed tree.
Each control of this main page is described at Railing Settings: Geometry and Symbol Display.
The two main components, listed in the tree, are Segments and Nodes. Set the parameters specific to Segments and Nodes on their respective pages.
•A Segment is the part of the Railing between two Nodes (like a segment of a polyline). A Segment has its own settings, which include the Railing Pattern and Segment Height.
See Segment Settings (Railing Tool).
•Nodes are the points that divide the Railing Segments (like points on a polyline). One or more Posts are located at each Node.
See Node Settings (Railing Tool).
The sub-pages under Segment and Node allow you to further specify the Railing components (e.g. Rails, Posts, Panels).
