Railing endless possibilities

The functionality of the Railing tool in Revit can be applied to much more than just "railing".......

For example I wanted to quickly and easily place curbing on my topographical site without having to use separate segments of curb so I created a simple curb profile and applied this to a new Railing type and then drew the path where I wanted the curb.... ta-daaaa!!!

Instant curb.... a colleague even suggested incorporating the sidewalk into the profile creating the sidewalk and the curb.... amazing!

I have also seen railing used for street lighting, bollard placement along a path, pathways, mono-rail!

I also found a sunshade by Kawaneer that is a railing that works great!

The Louvers and fascia are "Railing" components and the "Outriggers" are the baluster's. I think this works better and is easier to use than a typical Family component.
