678 | ChapteR 15 Creating StairS and railingS

In some cases, you’ll want the railing family to have associated profiles, like the shading
device in Figure 15.79. The railing profiles are used to create the shading fins, and the balusters
are the support elements.

Using railings to quickly and evenly distribute components along a path is great during
design and allows for quick iteration. Outdoor elements like lampposts are particularly
appropriate for distributed placement (Figure 15.80). In this example, a lamppost has been
nested into a baluster family.
