Steel plate stair railing with linear divisions

[Anonymous]

Hi, i´m modeling some stairs, for which the circulation triangulates as one ascends. I want to have a steel plate railing, that is, no gaps or anything, just a solid, seemingly welded steel plate that ascend with the stairs, like a ribbon.

I have referred to other forum topics here which explained how to make it, and I created the profile I wanted, but when I apply it to the railing, the division lines in the railing (where the welds would be) are slanted (see picture attached), and what I would like is straight lines-

how?

Thanks,

Fernando

By the way, what I did was insert the railing profile I made into the railing category and clicked "none" for any balusters so that there is only a railing that is the steel plate.

Have you tried messing with Angled Joins, Tangent Joins, and Rail Connections in Type Properties?

I did a quicky by create separate railings for the slopes and the landing.  It still needs a lot of fixing and refinement to get the heights and the weld location correctly but you get the idea.

Yes I messed around with angle joins, tangent joins, and rail connections, and neither gave me the results I was looking for. And while I really appreciate the model you attached, it does not exactly work for me because your example is only one flight of stairs, mine are multi-storey, and your rails are on the outside of the stairs, where they are usually not continuous the whole way up, and the ones I need are on the inside of the stairs which are continuous.

I think that every flight of stairs has to be connected with the landing of the flight below it, which I have read is an impossibility in Revit, I think that if they were able to be joined, then the railing would be continuous. any other ideas?

Thanks

Another attempt.

Hi. What is the thickness of the steel sheet used? Thanks.
