To place handrails, curved members, and one of the methods for placing slabs and walls in the model is to sketch a path in the 3-D environment. For handrails, the sketched 3-D path specifies the handrail location. For curved members, the sketched 3-D path specifies the curved member location. For slabs, the sketched 3-D path specifies the slab boundaries or a portion of the slab boundaries. For walls, the sketched 3-D path specifies the wall location. You can use Tools > PinPoint, Tools > Point Along, and the SmartSketch relationship indicators when defining the path to help with precise placement.

Path segments can be straight lines or three-point arcs with the ability to switch between the two types at any time using the Path Type option. In addition, you can define four types of corners for your path using the Turn Type option. The following graphic shows examples of the available turn types (paths display in the model as yellow lines (blue below) with yellow squares (green below) at the vertices):

When placing a path for a handrail or curved member, the path can transverse multiple elevations and not required to be a closed shape. However, when placing a path that defines the boundaries of a slab or the path of a wall, the software limits the path to the plane defined for the slab or wall.
