Railing contains balusters when "Baluster Family" set to "None"

Using Revit 2024.2, our project has a railing (copy-pasted from a consultant's file) where "Baluster Family" in the Main Pattern is set to "None," and a baluster family is selected for the Starting Post and End Post. Per the documentation this should result in a railing with a start post and end post and nothing in between them, but when Revit generates the railing it has balusters (same family as start and end posts) in between spaced at 4'-0". In a plan view, these balusters can be individually selected, and if selected, they are pinned. They can be unpinned and moved along the plane of the railing, but if re-pinned they jump back to their original location. I actually want the Main Pattern balusters, but I want to change the spacing, and there seems to be no way to access them in the railing dialog, I can only unpin them and move them individually, not really an acceptable "solution." What am I missing here?

Here is a file made with template <none> and just the railing copy-pasted into it.

 

Thanks,

those "Balisters" are coming from the Handrail 1 option.

if you select the Handrail 1 Type, you can edit the spacing and layout.

otherwise what I usually do is use the select the place corner posts at each segment end and break the rail path where I want the balusters.

Wow, thank you, I would not have guessed it was buried in the "Handrail 1" properties under "supports," since the handrail itself is shown as a rail type. Some people are whizzes at Revit railings, but I'm not one of them. I usually end up reaching for the Family Editor instead. In fact, our consultant has made other building elements like trellises using the railing tools, and I foresaw so much difficulty if we had to edit them that I refused to copy them and rolled my own trellises in the Family Editor instead. 

Anyway, thanks again!

Railings and Curtain Walls.... there is so much you can do with them.  I haven't tried doing a trellis with a railing though..... Hmmmmm :strahlendes_Gesicht_mit_lächelnden_Augen:
