Railing extents

Hello everybody,

 

I would like to set extents to my railing, which is a special one. It's supposed to be just a wooden plank for fall protection in a facade opening, which they attach to both adjacent walls. Neither am I using hand- or toprails.
So it doesn't have any baluster. I don't want extents to the floor, wall or baluster. Just horizontaly extended. This brings me to my question: 

 

I would like the plank to extent for example 15 cm on each side of the start and begin point of the railing curve. For example if my curve is 100 cm, it will be extended like this: 15 cm + beginpoint 100 cm endpoint + 15 cm (SEE RED VISUALISATION ON IMAGE 2, original situation on image 1).

 

Thanks a lot.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Railing drop-down Sketch Path is an independent option in that case no need to extend your wall or floor. Now you are using railing without baluster, so you can draw the railing with your extent dimension. (15+100+15 = 130 railing length)

 

If you have railing with baluster option then I will suggest you, just press tab and select Top Rail Type > Edit rail > Edit path > draw path > finish. Moreover If you are looking for any railing extension option like "dimension line extension" then you can suggest an idea in Ideas community.

Hello sir, first of all thank you for your help. Second; I clearly forgot to mention an important part of my issue:

 

I'm working with dynamo to generate fall protection. The script I made will do the following:

 

Situation of a window:

1) It gets one of the horizontal curves of the window -> = curve of the railing

2) takes the corresponding level of the window (incl offset,.. ) -> = level where my railing will be placed

 

So: the curve of my railing will be the exact same length as the one of the window. 

I'm doing nothing manually and would like to generate everything automatically.

 

This is why I asked this question: wondering if I could set extents in the railing type itself.

As I read your answer, and as I was thinking, it will not be able to set extents of a railing (without balusters, handrail,..) in the railing type. Therefor; I need to make my curve longer on both sides I guess. 

 

Kind regards
