Railing Design and Dynamic Block

[nicolas]

Dear Members of this forum,  

I urgently need your help/advice on how to put vertical railing in a professional way.  The main block of the railing I found online is 1000 mm. c/c, that is, between the main supporting vertical members. Now I have three spaces where those railing need to be placed namely: 3625, 4500, 1650.  
I want to know the principles involved when placing railing in autocad and real life.  For example for the 3625, I will have 3 modules and I want to know how to distribute that remaining 625 space. Is there principles involved or it is according to personal taste/viewpoint.  Does any one has a dynamic block that can greatly help me in this and other projects. 

Thank you very much in advance for your input.

Not really in my wheelhouse, but typically designers use off-center dimensions. In other words, start at the centerline and work your way out.

 

For 3625, you're working with each side 1812.5. With spacing of 1000, and the first being 500, you get 500, then 1000, then 312.5.

 

For 4500, the side is 2250, so it's 500, 1000, 750.

 

For 1650, the side is 825, so it's 500, 325.

 

Another logical way to do it is to space them evenly, and the math is even easier. It usually depends on how the railing is assembled and what it's attached to.

Because you have an odd size compared to your panels 3625 v's 4 x 1000, you have  a few choices cut each panel. 3625 / 4 = 906 or have to get custom panels to suit. Even taking 94mm from each end of panel may not work. So talk to the panel people.

 

If the panels are to fit a gap.

Thanks for your input.  The railing people must have some DO and DONT on this item and it has a lots to do with the connection.  I will continue to look for online catalogue for this is a likely source for information.  I will come back to you when I find any additional information on this as I have been looking for this information for quite some time.
