In this exercise, you added one of the rectangular emergency exit stairwells in the building model. Next, you complete
the stairwell by adding railings and handrails.
Exercise 2:Adding Railings
Railings can be freestanding or automatically anchored to stairs. You can attach railings to one or both sides of a stair,
and you can wrap them around a landing. Stairs interact with railings, allowing railings to follow the edges of flights
and landings. To ensure adherence to design standards, you can use a railing style to control properties such as rail
locations and height, post locations and intervals, and landing and extension dimensions.
This exercise shows how to add railings to the building model. You use predefined railing styles to add a steel pipe
railing and handrail to the emergency exit stairwell you added in the previous exercise.
