Railing at multi switchback stair

[GREMMELS1]

I have a stair that switches back 3 times so there are 2 runs at different levels on each side of the stair.  I am having trouble getting the rail to show up on the second run above the original.  

Normally I would place a rail on the entire host and start deleting the sketch lines but that is not working for this stair.  When I try and draw a separate rail it is just flat and the slope commands do nothing.  When I then try and rehost to the stair it places the rail back down at the original level.

As your stair seems to be comprised of 4 equal runs (or more precisely, two simple switchback stairs) you could create an intermediate level at mid height and use a multi-level stair. This way, the third and fourth runs will reproduce the hand-rails and guard-rails you have modelled for the first and second runs.

Hope this helps,

P.S. You may want to uncheck the intermediate levels "Building Story" instance parameter and adjust the extents so as to limit where the level shows up.

Use the Split tool and delete the portion which is not required (See GIF Below)

Thanks for the tip. Had to us a rail type that had no extensions to split at first and then I could switch it to the desired rail.  I also applied this to the continuous rail in the middle.  I get extra posts at the landing in the continuous rail but at least it joins where the stair is not continuous at certain landings.
