How to add railings to an irregular opening?

Use a curtain wall and edit profile.

Not sure what you mean by "irregular shape/opening".   Looks pretty conventional to me.  Are you meaning that there is no host for the Railing? If so, why not create a "reference" host and hide it in the View?

But I don't see there is an option of railing for curtain panel. Railing is different system family. It seems not to allow me to edit the family.

Create a curtain wall type that is the same as your railing type using mullions as rails and balusters.

If you want to use Railing then it can be done as well. Just edit the path, select a segment and change its Height Correction.

The highlighted two parts will be hard to use height correction.  Otherwise this is a good way to model it. Curtain wall method is more straightforward. I am able to make it. Thank you!

Is there a way to add top and base like this?  I tried to add Horizontal Mullion, it was just horizontal and not following the profile.

Yes.  Horizontal Border Mullions should work.

Very strange thing happens - the horizontal border has been separated to small segments by the railings, but the border looks fine along the slope.
