Last time I looked at railings, we could only add them programmatically to stairs. As Konrad mentioned, Revit 2017 has a new Railing.Create method that accepts curves, but for earlier versions I had to resort to using slab edges. Here’s an old thread with a sample: > [@Create Slab Edge or Other Profile Family along a Vector](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/create-slab-edge-or-other-profile-family-along-a-vector/1080/6): > > It seems Revit’s slab edge creation method is a bit clunky because it requires a host edge Element to host the slab edge on. The catch is that the API doesn’t expose a good method for querying a slab’s edge elements. Luckily you can also host slab edges on model curves: [Capture2] [DEV.SlabEdgeByModelCurve](http://dynamobim.com/wp-content/uploads/forum-assets/dimiter_vmail-bg/02/18/DEV.SlabEdgeByModelCurve.dyn) The above gives you a lot more freedom, as long as you don’t mind a few extra model lines(you can’t delete them because that would delete the slab edge but you can freely hide them away ) b… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/how-create-railing-from-path/5077)._
