Round Balustrade Post with Extension Start and Offset

This Revit family provides a round balustrade post featuring an integrated extension start and offset for custom railing systems. Designed for integration into standard railing assemblies, this round post component features a distinct extension start with a horizontal offset. The geometry is clean and functional, intended for use as a structural support that terminates or begins a handrail run. The profile is uniform, suggesting a standard tubular steel or stainless-steel construction typical of modern stair systems. It includes the necessary connection geometry to transition from the vertical post to the horizontal handrail extension, providing a continuous aesthetic flow while maintaining code-compliant handrail termination points for safety and accessibility in stairwell designs.

The download is a 92 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this RFA into your project environment and nest it within the Railing System type properties under the Baluster Placement settings. Ensure the host stair or floor slab is correctly defined, as this post is designed to be hosted by railing paths. Adjust the vertical and horizontal offsets within the railing type parameters to align the extension start with your specific project landing or run requirements. Verify that the handrail profile matches the extension geometry for a seamless joint connection.
