Match railing style

You can match the railing style of an existing railing in Allplan.

Retrieve railing favorites

You can select and load a railing favorite.

Railing properties

You can open the Railing Properties dialog box for defining railing styles.

Undo point

You can delete the path points entered step by step.

Tip: You do not need to click the base edge (path) when you select a railing. You can click any element of the railing.

Fold railing

You can add points to the path.
This tool functions in the same way as Fold Line in the Draft module.

Split railing

You can split railings. The regions split get the division style of the previous region. In other words, the positions of the posts and fields can change in regions split.
This tool functions in the same way as Split Surface Elements, Archit. Elements in the Draft module, for example.

Delete regions

You can delete the regions of an existing railing. As a result, the railing only consists of one region, which gets the division style of the formerly first region.

Settings

You can open the Settings dialog box, where you can make more settings for creating railings.

Polygonize circle/polyline/spline

This tool automatically polygonizes circles, 2D polylines and splines while you are entering points. In doing so, Allplan starts at the end of the circle, polyline or spline that is nearest to the last point.
Note: When polygonizing splines, you may find that the line segments are too short to serve as the basis for a railing. In this case, open the Settings and enter the minimum length of line segments in the Minimum offset for spline box.

Modify railing

You can modify an existing railing.

Modify points of path

You can move the path points of the railing. This tool functions in the same way as Stretch Entities in the Draft module.

Join railings

You can join two railings.

Create regions

You can divide an existing railing into regions. As a result, all regions are given the division style of the formerly undivided region. You can modify the regions later (see Changing division styles).

Move posts

You can define the positions of posts in an existing railing. The offsets of the division style change.

Region

You can select the region of the railing.

Reverse

Use this to change the position of the railing in relation to the path (left/right) (cf. Reverse offset direction for walls).

Division

You can define the division style of a region.
Note: The Division, Offset, Offset at start, Offset at end, Subdivision per segment and Close region parameters are described in detail in the section entitled Division style of a region.
