railing pickets handrail guardrail

[muleman1]

Ok, I'm trying to accomplish the most simple step. We are modeling simple, simple guard rails and we want the pickets 4" on center. I have 5 rails to detail and have successfully corrected the first two after 1-1/2 hours and 6ft of adding machine paper. This should not be difficult, huh. In the attached pic you see the option "max distance for pickets" and 'distance from post'. My question is who cares about the distance from the post as long as it isn't larger than local code allows? I want the centerline distances on the pickets to be 4" (not a max of 4", this allows variances in a direction we cannot have variances... i.e. code req'mts) ....why is this so difficult...am I overlooking the obvious? Is there a hidden setting somewhere deep in the bowels of the program?  Also, we cannot change the bottom rail to a difference size...i.e. the two top rails are 1/4 x 2 flat and we need the bottom to be 1/2 x 2 flat.  this SO frustrating. Where are the fixes @joerg.seyffert is asking about ?????? What is Autodesk quiet ????
