(2023) railing repeating pattern

[jledgewood409]

i have created this railing (fence) that balusters and baluster panels. i am having a hard time getting the repetition to space correctly. see attach revit file

what are we looking for?  Nothing's jumping out as peculiar.

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.

would you be willing to create an example with one of the railing in the file and upload it?

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.
