Railing starting much earlier then intended

Hello,

As you can see in the image below, my railing is made up of several 180 cm baluster panels (columns). The issue is that the railing doesn’t start at the wall as intended. Instead, it begins before the wall, extending inside the house, and also finishes too early on the other end.

I don’t understand why this is happening. Adjusting the offset moves the railing forward, but it also changes its overall width, which isn’t what I want.

Does anyone know how I can make the railing start exactly at the wall?

 

Thanks!

@hugo_mpt_almeidaIt looks like the pattern is restarting; try to keep it continuous instead of breaking at the end. However, if you attach the file, it will be easier to configure than having to recreate it.

I'm not exactly sure what do you mean by that or how to fix it.

Here's the file, apologies.

 

@edit: I see what you mean, but it didn't work. I tried meddling with all these settings, and while the balusters move slightly, they remain out of their intended position.

You need to fix the Baluster family...in both left and front view. It needs to be in the center and the ref planes defining the width (in the left view) and depth (in the Front View - missing) need to constrain the geometry of the baluster

Thank you! It's fixed! I also did the reference planes as you suggested and can now do multiple family types 🙂
