At Autodesk University 2016 I attended a class called Handrail Hack, it was defiantly one of the better classes I attended this year. Brian Mackey did a great job of explaining the in’s and out’s of Revit’s railing system. For the most part i have gotten to hate Revit’s railing system, to a point i was almost ready to try building all of my railings out of curtain wall. this class changed my mind on using the railing system.
Check out the AU Online Video of the class:Handrail Hacks
I had gotten into making and understanding what I now deem the basic of the railing system, but now I understand what I was doing was just the tip of the iceberg for really understanding the railing system. Brain took us pretty much through all of the different settings of the railing system.
