You can't.

Working with the Railing types (system families) it isn't possible, like the previous reply said.

 

If you create an In-place Family assigned to the railing category you have the options available to the family editor. It will be a railing but it won't use the built-in railing features, you'd have to build all the parametric behavior and decisions into your family.

Hi Steve,


Thank you for your reply. Is there any chance that this query be considered
for future releases. I think this tool will be very helpful where im
working.

Thanks for the support.

You'd have to describe what you're really trying to accomplish. What sort of railings you'd be able to create if you could do what you're asking for. The Revit Ideas site is where Autodesk would like you to post your idea.

 

The key to making it into reality is how well you describe what you want, how achievable it is, and its timing with other ideas/features that have been committed to/planned for.

When you create a sketch you can use multiple segments to control where posts are placed. If you show a picture/sketch of what you want to end up with it might help point you toward an existing solution.

I'm uploading a photo of the rough sketch, this is what I am trying to do, to have the length of each individual rail, I can change the end post and start post offsets, but there is no option for changing length of individual rail, as all the rails have same length as the path sketch. 

I also tried to make a separate family as you said, but I don't know how to change the number of balusters as per my requirement. if you can help me it would be great,

thanks for your help

Just thinking it through in my head:

 

-Top Rail @ top w/ extension +2

-Hand Rail @ middle w/ extension +1

-Rail @ bottom w/o extension

-Baluster. (Rail Length/3=Distance from Previous). Offset +1

-No Posts

If you use top rail or handrail you can change their length to different (longer) than the path length.  You can also stack multiple rails at the same location and varies their length.  Can you share a picture of what you are after?

The attached is what they attached in a zip file.

You can totally do it.  There is one top rail and two handrails that you can use to get there.

As i said i can do that as a family. But the problem in this railing family
is we can not control the number of balusters to be placed... That is, for
some railing i need 3 balusters and for some i need 4 or for some railings
even 2. So if i create a family with 4 balusters I won't be able to reduce
the numbers and if i create a family with 2 i won't be able to add number
of balusters. Is there any solution for this?

Not understanding you. Is Baluster placement based on Length or by Type? 

 

...sounds like you're talking "Types" now.  Create 3 Types then.

If you are looking for 3 or 4 types of variation within the raining, its not possible as a instance parameter..

just create 3 or 4 different Railing types... name them accordingly so that you can switch easily..

That way people modelling it will know the difference..

Similar design but three different railing type..Similar design but three different railing type..

I think of the Baluster Design section in the same way I regard wall paper. Wall Paper designs are designed on a fixed repeating pattern. Laying out wall paper properly requires working out the length of the walls in a room and deciding where the pattern must begin and where it is acceptable for the pattern to end. It does not always work out cleanly or in a simple way.

 

It is possible to design in a very specific pattern if you add as many balusters as you want with specific distance between each of them. The overall pattern and length of the railing has to be included in the design. As such it won't work for a shorter or longer length. Once it is designed it is quite easy to place as many copies as required.

 

This blog post of mine describes one approach to deal a repeating pattern for a fixed size railing that in my case was intended to span between columns but in a consistent size. I just used a stock baluster panel in the post but it was something else ultimately.
