How to Make hand rails on a staircase in 4 Steps
This actually requires a bit of forward planning so you'll have to agree a couple details first.
* How high above the stairs will the rail be?
* How steep is the staircase
Read through this a couple of times before you start to understand what's going on.
1. Create a ramp a tiny distance off the ground (I used a grid size of 0.25) and scale this the length and height of the staircase + the additional length of how far the rail is above the stairs.
2. Union a ramp the same size as the first one except start this from ground level
3. Choose a distance of uprights and subtract these along the length. Then union a block on the front to remove the rails going into the ground.
4. Finally union a block in the centre to expose the 2 individual rails. Then simply subtract the staircase.
And the final Product...
