  Sloped Railing Designr is a lisp routine that draws any size Flat/Slope/Stair Railing using the Sloped Designs you pick inside the Sloped Railing Designr dialog.
Even draws Multi-horizontal railing.
Also "end-return rails" for landings on stairs!
Railing designs doesn't get any faster than this!!!

  As you change the configuration of the railing, you can "see" the changes "on-the-fly" as they happen, right inside the main dialog!

Added: Optionally, "Type" or "Pick" the rise/run info. ("Pick" allows users to pick the points on an actual stair elevation drawing!). (2-12-12)
BIG TIME SAVER!

Added: Export The BOM to Excel. (1-25-12)

Includes:
Fully annotated Sloped-Railing elevation shop drawings with a title-block and bill-of-materials
(Fully dimensioned elevation-view and section-view. Quick & Easy!).

Power Converter added! (4-20-12)
(Added to the Railing-Design Tool-Box)
This program was designed save (in a file of your choice) the e-data of objects that the user selects!
Still in developmental stages, this program will be like a block that thinks!
Example:
The user selects drawing objects for the start of a hand-rail (that isn't already in the railing programs), then the user can save them to an e-data set that can loaded (like a program) and will adapt to the current variables of the railing programs!
(Thus making it "Smart")
Note:
The user will define the variables for all the entities (it will even have a listing of all the railing component variables to pick from), or enter "user" variables for the components!

With many many more to come! (check back often!)



You have so many options with all the different "Designr" programs (Updated to 3 included with this version), it is literally possible to design hundreds of thousands of Sloped Railing configurations with this program!

This is a sample of the Sloped Railing Designr Program.
(Click each function to view how the dialog works and what the functions are used for!)

There are so many options to choose from:
1) Single Railing
      a) Select from a Post-Mounted Rail
      a) Or a Post-Mounted Multi-Horizontal Rail
      a) Even from a Wall-Mounted Rail
      b) Pick the lengths from your own pre-drawn layout! (like a stair drawing)

2) Railing Length (Enter the length for single railings by "typing" or "picking points in your drawing")
3) Top-Rail Height (The height to the top-of-rail)
4) Post Spacing (Desired "maximum" post spacing)
6) Layers (This dialog lets you change the default layers, colors, and linetypes to your favorites)
7) Base-plate or Core-Drill (to fasten the railing to a floor or other structure)
    Base-plates can be fastened 2 ways, either to the "top" or "face" of the stringer/structure!
11) Top-Rail (there are 4 standard types of materials AND you can use your own Profiles too!)
      a) SQ & RC Tubing
      b) SQ Hollow Structural Tube
      c) RC Hollow Structural Tube
      d) A.S.A. Pipe (1/8" to 24", with most Schedule sizes available)
      e) Use you own Top-Rail Profiles! (Add your own favorite profiles!)
12) Posts (there are 4 standard types of materials)
      a) SQ & RC Tubing
      b) SQ Hollow Structural Tube
      c) RC Hollow Structural Tube
      d) A.S.A. Pipe (1/8" to 24", with most Schedule sizes available)
13) Base-Plate (Configure the base-plate to match your design needs)
    Base-plates can be fastened 2 ways, either to the "top" or "face" of the stringer/structure!
   AND adjust the "face-mounted" vertical offset from the nosing-line to the center of the base-plate!
14) Pickets (there are 4 standard types of materials)
      a) SQ & RC Tubing
      b) SQ Hollow Structural Tube
      c) RC Hollow Structural Tube
      d) A.S.A. Pipe (1/8" to 24", with most Schedule sizes available)
16) Steel or Aluminum (Check the desired material to use for the railing)
17) Data (This allows you to configure a railing to your specifications, then Open/Save/Delete them as needed)
   The saved configurations include "all" current variables assigned in the dialog, including everything in all the current "Designr" programs!
18) Help (There is a fully integrated help system built into the program! Check the help check-box, then select a function to see what that function is used for!)


Files included:
1) Main Program and Dialog.
   This is where everything is configured and accessed from.
3) Profile Designr.
   This is where you select the Top-Rail "Profile" to use in the current design.    Also this is where you add your own Profiles to the program (make sure to watch the video on how this process is done!).
4) Base-Plate Designr.
   This is were you configure you Base-Plate designs.
   Base-plates can be fastened 2 ways, either to the "top" or "face" of the stringer/structure!
   Also users can adjust the Base-plates in the "X-Y" coordinates for different mounting options!
   AND adjust the "face-mounted" vertical offset from the nosing-line to the center of the base-plate!
5) Picket-Railing Designr (picket channel).
   This is were you configure you Picket-Railing/Channel designs.
   Adjust the Picket-railing dialog variables to your channel-shape, then save them for future use!
