Railing Baluster Panel

I have a problem with a railing that contains a panel. When I put it in the project, the last panels are misconfigured in relation to the rest. I've tested it on 3 other computers and the same thing happens.

There are some constraint problems in the family. Share the file here.

This family in the photo is the one that comes by default when opening a new project.

Use a panel type with the width = n * tread depth. For example if your tread depth is 300 mm then change the panel type to 900 mm or 1200 mm, and set the Distance properly in the baluster type configuration.

Another way is use a combination Baluster + Baluster panel, with a rail at the bottom, and set the baluster panel bottom to that rail. That rail can be glass with a small profile so that it is not noticeable in your model and drawings.

Change Pattern Break to Never.

...actually, try changing the justification and see if that fixes.

You should really plan the panel size by the length divided by the number of Panels. In other words, if the length is 15 feet and the number of Panels desired is 5, then the Panel width would be 3 feet.
