Railing Design Questions

I just wanted to confirm a couple of railing design limitations.

 

I am coming to the conclusion that, in order to get posts and rails and balusters to clean up appropriately and space correctly, I need to create 2 distinct railings.

 

Railing 1 is composed of line segments equally divided to create post spacing, with  a 'None' baluster.  This allows me to control where my posts are located.

Railing 2 would be for baluster infill.  It would consist of individual railings located between the posts of Railing 1.  This allows better control of baluster location.

This feels cumbersome, but gets me what I want.  It works great with a simple post.  However, I am hitting a couple of small snags when it comes to more complex posts.  If the post width is different at the top than base, either the top rail matches the correct width or the bottom rail matches the correct width.  Is there a parameter to control the top or bottom rail extension?

If I can extend the to rail with a parameter, I can also adjust the railing path to better control the location of the finishing baluster.  As is, sometimes I have balusters crashing into posts.

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

Use Top Rail for the top rail and non-continuous rail for the bottom rail. Tab edit the Top Rail > Edit Rail > Edit Path then you can add more length to it independently from the railing.

That works.  Unfortunately I will need to add that 1/2" extension to both ends of the top rail at each instance.  Maybe a top rail extension type parameter would be suggestion worthy....
