Baluster drawing, different level issue

When i draw for example an square, and and draw my lines with railing feauture on the edge of it. There is almost only one side that get's the right level and height. Rest of the sides get wierd level and height. Same  issue with "Pick Lines" feaure aswell. It works good if i only draw maximum two lines per intervall. If i draw 2 lines, finish sketching mode, then open the sketch again and draw another two lines it works good. Why does this happen and how do i fix it?

No offense, but the Railing Family it poorly constructed, starting with the way you built the Profiles/Support Families by offsetting them from the insert origin.  You might benefit from reading these two tutorials:

Here's an idea for you. The idea is half-baked, but maybe you can take away something from it. 

 

See attached.

 

NOTE: Barth Railing Type has a Rail Structure defined.

I tried your tip for the structure, it works good and it works good with functions like "flip" etc, Great! But it still "buggs" when i draw multiple lines and the "pick lines feauture". It works good if i draw like max 3 lines per intervall.

Looks like you are employing the very ideas I suggested above for this Railing Family.  Seems to work well now.  I don't see any issues.  What "BUG" are you referring to?

For example: If i have a floor that have the shape of a square. If i draw all 4 lines in same period. There will almost always be atleast 2/4 lines that doesnt get correct level. Look closer at the picture i posted last time, at the top of the railing. Its mutch better now but still an issue. BUT, if i do following : Draw 1-2 lines with railing feauture>Accept> Double click on railing to edit>draw rest of the lines>good result.
