Glass Railing without Top Rail

[kirkdent]

I'm trying to build a structural glass guard rail that has no cap, based on the attached manufacturer's section drawing. However, I cannot seem to eliminate the top rail, because it defines the height of the baluster glass panel.

I tried using a small top rail made out of glass as a workaround, but the segments of 4'-0" glass panel are supposed to be separated by a 1/4" gap. With railings running uninterrupted in Revit, it messes up the top.

Does anyone know how to remove the top rail without affecting the balluster? Thanks!

You can turn off just the "rail" portion of the railings in the visibility
and graphics of the view. This of course will only work if this is the only
railing type in the view. If you have another railing type where you do
need to see "rails" this will not work.

I figured out how to make this work by playing with it a little more... thought it might be helpful to someone in the future.

In the Edit Baluster Placement dialogue box, set the Baluster Family 'Base' and 'Top' parameters as "Host," then set the top offset to whatever height you want the glass panel to be. I then deleted the top rail from the assembly.
