Handrail - Cells tab

Apart from the parametric construction, the handrails can be built using user-defined cells available including for the post variants (e.g. beginning, end, corners) and fillings. 

Handrail - Cells tab provides all necessary settings and access to the cells directory. They are partly identical with those of parametric construction.

For more detailed information about selection and distribution of user-defined cells, please refer to section ‘Working with User-defined Cells’ in this chapter.
