if you were to extend any of those railings you will see that the spacing doesnt keep.

Because a baluster panel has a fixed length dimension. Design the length of your railing to fit the number of panel, or with gaps where make sense.

ToanDN,

i am trying to recreate your screen shots as to where the railing start begins with the 3" square baluster followed by the panel. i am matching your "edit baluster placement" window and for some reason the start of my railing begins with the panel? any thoughts? i am attaching a file that reflects this situation.

Define the pattern exactly as I'm showing in message #11 and message #13.
