GLASS BALUSTER DOESN'T SLOPE TO RAILING??

[Anonymous]

Hello. I'm going freaking crazy over here! 🙂 I'm trying to create my custom railing- it's made of a chainlink net with steel balusters places every 900mm. 

I've created my custom balusters, both the steel one and the chainlink one. But I don't understand why oh why won't they slope to the railing?!

I've tried everything I could think of through trial and error- editing the baluster families and deleting the slope voids, re creating the voids, changing the reference lines, editing the extrusion of the chainlink..

Every thing I've done so far, I get one of two reactions: either Revit gives me an error and say it can't load the family into the project, or the family loads but the slope doesn't appear.

Bonus thanks to who can tell me how to get the panel pattern to spread evenly throughout the railing 😉

Stairs are confusing!

Could you post the baluster family? There's probably a problem with the constraints.

Sure thing. Thanks!

For the panels - you didn't need the voids at all. Also top and bottom of the extrusion were not constrained to the panel top and bottom planes. Take a look at the attached file....

That's beautiful haha. Could you post your family here? I'm still a bit confused as to what I have to do to get my balustrade to do that..

Oops! Sorry!

Steps - 

1 - delete the voids (I hate voids anyway)

2 - edit the extrusion

3 - align the top and bottom of the extrusion with the top and bottom planes (which came with the baluster family template that I copied and pasted your geometry in - oh, that should have been Step 1 - this is not your original family)

That is a sight to please my sore eyes.. 🙂

do you mean all I had to do was trim the family to fit the size and shape of the slope!? I hate myself a little bit right now

Not trim - just align and lock the top and bottom edges of the extrusion sketch to the reference planes.
