Custom Top Rail Transition

Preemptive thank you for advice and help with this.

 

I have been asked to model-in-place a 3-tier mezzanine floor component, and now I am not sure how to address the railing, because I have done an unconnected sketched path railing for each tier.

 

How should I handle the top rail transition within this environment?

I think this depends on what the railing is supposed to look like. Does it have to go down in step? Or does it have to go down with an angle. However you want to make it you might have to adjust the railing family so that you get the result you want.

Revit allows for a very large veriety of possible railings you just have to know how you want it and ask a more specified solution. Also you might have to keep in mind certain regulations for you district country.

Here is one of many example's what you could posibly do.

If you draw the railing with multiple lines attached to eachother you can adjust height for different parts higher and lower. Also you can angle certain parts so they connect.

Did you use Top Rail or Non-continuous Rail?  Below is an OOTB railing hosted by a stepped roof.  The Top Rail is continuous without any extra work.

I don't know what the end result should look like, but the ideas are helpful, thank you, @sefanja-verkaik

Thank you, @ToanDN  Here is the family I am using:

When I edit the (non-continuous) top rail, these are my options:

Is it possible to make adjustments to what is here to make the top rail continuous?  Out of curiosity.  I will load a continuous top rail family, also.

@ToanDN   First time sharing a model on here... the original isn't mine and has numerous nested links, so this is only the railings, mezz, and reference planes.  Thank you for your help.

In place floor cannot host railing so your railing do not follow the steps automatically.  I would model the floor as a thick floor and use void to cut it to form the steps.
