Railing#

Create#

Creates a 3D model of a bridge railing along the chosen axis, curve or edge. The geometry of the railing is defined in Railing Revit Family.

  1. Click SOFiSTiK Bridge tab > Create panel > icon_Railing (Railing) drop-down > icon_Railing_Create (Create)

  2. Select path of the railings by clicking of the axis, curve or edge. You can select multiple curves. Confirm with ENTER.

    SOFiSTiK: Create Railing dialog displays.

  3. In ‘General’ tab you can define the name, assign properties, Start and End of Railing along the path, layout rule for panels and additional Offsets.

Tip

In case the path of the Railing has been changed, you can regenerate the Railing in Infra Browser using context menu. (mouse right-click on component)

Tip

Layout rule defines the distribution and placement of the panel segments along the chosen edge. You can adjust spacing between two posts by setting a corresponding value in distance parameter.

Tip

Offset Parameter defines the distance between the chosen edge and the axis of the railing. Indention parameter defines the distance between beginning/end of an edge to the first/last railing’s post.

Tip

In ‘End Post’ Tab you can select the Family Type of the Panel. Selected panel will be placed at the end of the railing.

Note

While selecting multiple edges, make sure that all the edges are creating continuous line.
