Handrail - Dimensions-Post Distribution tab

Setting Description
Post distribution

Specifies the approximate spacing of the rail posts within the individual smartline segments.

  • Normal ? The segment is regularly divided and the pre-determined post distance is adapted. When set, enables the Min segment settings below.
  • Adjust Start ? The post distance of the default setting is kept and only the first part of the segment is corrected.
  • Adjust End ? The post distance of the default setting is kept and only the last part of the segment is corrected.?
  • Adjust Start/End ? The post distance of the default setting is kept and only the first and the last part of the segment are corrected equally.
Post distance Sets the post spacing. it is the distance of the rail posts within the individual smartline segments. Depending on the setting, the program uses this information to space out the newel posts in regular intervals and rounds the value up or down as needed.
  • Maximum ? When checked, the values of the determined post distances are never rounded up. The post distance is regarded as the maximum value. If necessary, additional posts are inserted.
Edge offset Seats the spacing of the corner posts between two handrail segments starting with the intersection of the smartline segments.
Min. segment length Sets the minimum length of a handrail segment from which on posts are created. Thus advised to avoid e. g. the creation of posts at the inner edge of intermediate landings at staircases with changing direction.
Min. segment 2 posts Sets the minimum length of a handrail segment from which on two posts are created at the beginning and at the end. If the actual length is smaller (but larger than the 'Minimum Segment Length?), only one post will be created in the middle of the segment.
