Select Rail, and on the properties palette EDIT TYPE >> Duplicate

How to make the railing completely different if the various types are not listed (i.e., wood, metal, glass, etc.)?
Thank you,

1. First You edit and duplicate the railing type
2. Then you have to duplicate and edit the components Example:

Top Rail

Balusters

If you have any existing project with such railing types then you can Transfer Project Standards > Railing, to bring them to you project.  If not, then create new railing type with new railing component types (top rail, handrail, post, baluster, etc...).

Questions and Answers should be concise, so both parties understand and I'll try harder to ask the question that I really want an answer to.
