Handrail - Dimensions tab

SettingDescription
Connection height Sets the distance between the drawn smartline and the beginning of the posts including possible fastening plate.
Railing height Sets the height of the handrail. It is the distance of the upper edge of the newel posts or the center of the railing head (if in place) measured perpendicular to the smartline.
Upper rail height Sets the center distance of the upper knee-high rail (if in place) measured perpendicular to the smartline.
Middle rail height Sets the center distance of the middle knee-high rail (if in place) measured perpendicular to the smartline.
Lower rail height Sets the center distance of the lower knee-high rail (if in place) measured perpendicular to the smartline.
Handrail radius Sets the radius of the railing head at the corners of the handrail. If a radius is specified the corresponding shape bends are applied; otherwise a mitred joint is cut.
Knee rail radius Sets the radius of the knee-high guardrail at the corners of the handrail. If a radius is specified the corresponding shape bends are applied; otherwise a mitred joint is cut.
Kick plate radius Sets the radius of the baseboard at the corners of the handrail. If a radius is specified the corresponding shape bends are applied; otherwise a mitred joint is cut.
Connect sphere dia. Sets the radius of the thickening knot on the intersections between rails and posts. This is the radius at the gusset points between posts and e. g. knee-high guardrails.
Wildcards for the overall dimensions ($(L), $(W), $(H)) are permitted.
