Handrail

Used to add a parametric handrail along a smartline. You are prompted to pick this smartline, then the handrail is created along this line.

You can choose between a parametric construction of the handrail and a construction by user-defined cells. For the parametric construction, all component parts are directly created from the default settings in your dialogs. With the second variant, you use any user-defined cells which are automatically adapted within certain borders.

The Handrail dialog is where you can set the specifications while verifying your input directly and immediately on the screen. The spatial development of the handrail may still be modified at a later time by changing the handles.
