Drag and Drop Families
Sometimes the most obvious answer evades you, this is probably one of those times. Loading families into your drawings can be one of the most time consuming aspects of completing your project. Well, this little tidbit jumped up and bit me today.

I thought it looked like a pretty good design though, he had the kickers. Although the railing was a bit on the weak side, it didn't appear to meet the 42" min requirement. I will say the (4)10d nails that attached the railing should be adequate, unless you need them to resist pullout to save your life because you are hanging by the railing........I digress
