Fillet rail /post

[yes_and_no]

How can I achieve this radius curve at first rail, knowing toprail needs to offset 4" for hand gripping.

You can model it as an End Post or as a Termination

Thanks.

The actual rail is slightly different, see pix.

I added termination to toprail TR oked.

But adding termination to rail 1 (highest) is troublesome. Won't be able to select the rail from any view.

You do not add a termination to both…it’s one termination for the top rail that extends to connect both… check the termination family towards end of the gif

Thank you. It works.

One bonus question: as you can see in the pix, my toprail is below the regular rail, for ease of manipulation.

The highest rail is at 42". Rv won't let me adjust the height, saying it s higher than toprail (?). It lets me do it in the first place, now it won't let me, wonder it has anything to do with terminations ?

@yes_and_no would you mark both as solutions? 😂

Example you with to set the last rail at 1200mm and the top rail 300mm below ... You do the following:

1. Set the Top Rail to 1300mm
2. Edit the Rail Structure and set the Last rail to 1200m
3. Click OK
4. Go back to the Top rail and reduce to 900mm

that tricks Revit to force the last rail above the top rail (hopefuly Autodesk do not see this tip and fix it)
