FiGuRE 16.64 Rotating the handrail into place
7. The last items to build for this handrail are the 1 ″ (25 mm) posts that
support it.
Copy one of the cylindrical railing posts you drew earlier, and space
them evenly on the top step, centered under the handrail. Using the
grips, adjust the height of each post so that they end inside the handrail.
TIP When copying the railing post, try using the center osnap to
acquire the bottom center point. to ensure the post is properly centered
under the top railing post, use the Mid Between 2 points osnap, and pick the
front intersection of the 2D railing post line and the midpoint of the outer
edge of the 3D step as shown here.
2. Pick this midpoint
