      Much of my work involves design and modification of facilities in which there are safety railings at edges, around cut-outs up stairs/slopes.

      They are of varied kinds (see attachment):

      • Contiguous – straight

        • Contiguous – multiple directions
        • Curved
        • Round corners with and without separate connectors
        • Sharp corners
        • With and without lower flat safety toe plate
        • Painted Brushed aluminum
        • Combined horizontal and slanted (for stairs)
          It would be very helpful if a plugin were available that would draw these railings based on input of:
      • Line(s): straight, arc, welded multi-directional straight, straight and sloped drawn in the model

        • Select the line

        • Open the plugin and select from the following options:

        • Tube diameter (2” or 2.5”, default = 2”)

        • Railing height (default = 36”) with intermediate railing at 1/2 the top railing height

        • Number of intermediate verticals (evenly spaced)

        • Sharp or round corners

        • With or without connectors

        • With or without toe-plate

        • Material: Brushed Aluminum or Dark Red

      Any Ruby guru interested? 🎉

        Bob, I started working on something like this last October.

        I see if I can adapt it to your specs.

        Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

              could you please enable (in your following plugin) the following behavior for vertical elements:

              1. obligatorily: posts in the corners;
              2. the gaps between vertical elements (placed evenly between corner posts) have the value which is closest to defined by user <= in accordance to local regulations
                ?
