                                Construction  The first category of properties in a top rail defines the basic construction
                                of the rail. Here you will select a profile and specify other behavior such as default join
                                condition, transitions, and hand clearance.
                                Terminations  Another top rail option is defining a termination. This is a family
                                component that can be used at the end of a rail or rail extension. There is only one
                                termination family loaded in the default project template, but you can create your own
                                family using the Railing Termination.rft or Metric Railing Termination.rft
                                family template. Figure 15.11 shows an example of a termination.
