Railing with sloped segment

[vicktor1111111]

Hi, I need to create a railing like that:

For that purpose I've decided to use the sloped segment feature for railings

Nevertheless, I've run into a trouble with a bottom rail there. I need it to go straight, as on the photograph and not repeat the slope of the top rail. In the same time all of the balusters must end on one level, being attached to that rail

Can you please suggest me a way to accomplish that?

Thank you very much!

Try setting baluster base to host.

Use a curtain wall with mullions for rails / posts / balusters, empty system panels, and edit profile to get the slope.

Draw a wall bottom of the rails as you need a profile. then make the wall host for the rail.

You cant have a top rail or rail structure not be parallel to eachother.  You will have to either do what @ToanDN had suggested or create an adaptive component with a built in repeater to accomplish this task.

You could do it by editing the top rail, but you can only have the top profile then. Other option could be to include the bottom rail in the baluster family, could be somewhat troublesome turning corners though... edit: sloped as mentioned before by setting baluster base to host

Thank you very much for your suggestion, it was the most helpful for me! Unfortunately I wasn't able to open the file you attached though, cause 2018 version is installed on PC I work on, and your file was apparently created in the latter version.

If possible, could you please convert it to 2018th version and send it again?

Also, from what you've written I was able to achieve the following result:

Nevertheless, as you mentioned, I've encountered problems with cornering, and with lower railing on start and end posts, but those issues may be omitted, if they're impossible to resolve. There is another minor difficulty though, which I suspect can be easily resolved. I've created the lower railing via adding short transverse bars the half length of the intended distance between the balusters on the baluster family. In the project those bars appear not joined though. Is it possible somehow to join them so that they appeared as a continuous railing?

@vicktor1111111 Actually I dont have rvt18 here, but to clarify in the above image the bottom rail drawn is also the 'top rail' edited. I don't really know how you can resolve the baluster at the corner, other then modelling it in place ie. Another idea I thought of just now could be to combine two railings as one, would have to test that...
