Can't create complex railing design

Hi,

I am trying to find out what the most efficient way would be to model the railing seen in the attached image. The way i did it until now was to manually adjust the the balusters and create new railing families for every span of railing that differed from each other. This worked for small residential projects, however this would not work for a large commercial project with many different widths and heights.

On a different note I was never able to get it to work properly for stair railings.

Thank you!

Won't work as a Railing, but you can make it a Railing Baluster Panel. Check out the OOTB "Panel - Glass" Family. 

 

In lieu of modeling all that ornate geometry, you could apply that ornamentation by way of an Material Appearance Image.  FWIW. 

 

...in fact , you could just use the "Panel - Glass" Family and swap out its "Glass" Material with a Custom Material that has that ornamentation.  Again, FWIW.  

 

...Here's the "Panel - Glass" Family used to make Chain Link:

You could use a curtain wall with a custom panel. Model the decorative elements (blue) extra large to cover the biggest condition you need, then add a "donut" void (red) in the family to trim off the exceed part. The void dimensions would be constrained to the size of the of the curtain panel family to flex with your curtain grid placements in project.

Save off that level of detail until you are certain about the overall dimensions of the Railing as a whole. Otherwise, you drive yourself crazy modifying the railing panels every time an inch or two is added or subtracted.  KISS.

I am testing how to create railing family for my internal training. Here is a sample you can built upon.

Good evening,

 

I'm currently a student and I'm doing a project where I have to use exactly this type of railing. Could you please tell me how you did it?

Which one are you asking about? The railing the OP is showing or the chain link fence I'm showing.

I'm talking about the railing you posted

This one.
I tried to find a similar revit but couldn't. If you have one of a revit with a railing I'd like it or if you can explain it to me in a screncast or some other way that would be nice.

That is a Rendering using an OOTB Appearance Asset. In other words, it's not modeled that way.  While you could model that geometry, why would you?  What would be the point? It's would lend nothing to the construction documents.

It's true that it wouldn't add anything, but as I've already said, this is an exercise at my university and it was the architect who asked for a railing with a mesh infill as shown in the image.

 

So how do you get that OOPT look?
