More Revit Railing UI inconsistency:
In the Railing Type Property dialog box there are sections for Top Rail and two separate Handrail properties. Each of these have:
- a Height property. As noted in another post, the behaviour of the Height property is completely different for each.
- a ‘Type Name’ property
- There is also a property that you set whether the chosen type is used or not, and if so what position(s) it is in – these are also inconsistently named, which causes confusion when you first look at them:
Top Rail – ‘Use Top Rail’ = Yes/No
Handrail – ‘Position’ = None, Left, Right, Left and Right
Why the inconsistency? It would be so easy to make them the same – they could both be called ‘Position’ or both ‘Usage’. The settings could both have a ‘None’ option, instead of one being ‘No’.
