            • Added an option for a top and a bottom baluster shoe.
            • The top baluster shoe can be controlled with the additional "shoe height" parameter, which in turn allows for baluster collars.
            • Added the shoerail offset parameter to vertically offset the shoerail.
            • Fixed a bug in the railing edit menu with metric units.

                      Our 33 wooden stair handrails provide plenty of options from which to choose. Many profiles are also available in bending rail for applications requiring curved hand railing.

                                I've been working on close stringers for curved stair cases. The circular variety is pretty much figured out but the elliptical variety still needs an instantaneous adjustment to the stringer depth since the pitch angle of the stairs (slope) is constantly changing. The geometry of a 0.9 eccentric ellipse shows off this distortion quite well. I will hit it again tomorrow and see if I can't figure out a more accurate algorithm for these stringers. Sometimes I enjoy a good challenge, but this one has certainly had me scratching my head a few times already.

                                        After mucking around with the follow me API call and a few other algorithms I decided to strike out on my own yesterday, and with a little help from ChatGPT and quite a few iterations I was able to finally generate the closed helical stringers. Using the same principle and by rotating the profile I am now able to generate a similar mesh for the handrails. These are high poly but it does look great and we now have eliminated the twisting issue that I had never resolved using other methods. So a major step forward.
