How about revising the handrail macro to let us pick post by post what type of post base connection to use? I have had several incidents where I was forced to make a design decision regarding handrail because the current macro only lets us use one type of post connection at a time.
For example, on a catwalk landing I have handrail bolted to the top of support beams, but with a 90 degree bend where one post is welded to the back of a channel. I can do this, but only after blowing away handrail intelligence, which I try and avoid if possible.
