Railings in Revit



Drawing a Panel from scratch using the panel template. If one creates an extrusion in the left or right hand view clicking to the four corners of the reference planes like this creates a panel 600mm wide.

Now at last here is the top tip for using the ballusters. Make sure you have half the panel width in the Dist. from previous if you do not want a gap between each panel or balluster. This is because the setout position is the centre of the panel. Therefore the Distance from Previous is actually the distance of the start of the next panel from the centre (setout line) of the previous panel.

Here are some useful descriptions of the railing settings:
At the bottom under the setction titled POSTS the Start Post has a setting called SPACE. This setting is the amount that the start post (or panel is offset to the right of the start of the ballustrade. The amount in from the end of the ballustrade.
