I wish the Handrail Object were more capable and easier to use.
As far as I can tell, it doesn't accommodate newels and balusters; just one choice for "uprights."
I'd assumed the "1st Horizontal Height" was from the bottom. It took a while to realize it's "height" is actually set from the top of the handrail object to the top of the horizontal...
A graphic image/preview in the settings dialogue would be helpful, in general and to clarify things such as what the "1st Horizontal Height" is.
It would be nice if handrail objects could behave more like walls, with corners automatically mitered as they're drawn or when they're created from path objects.
Last but not least, the "handrail object" seems to be more of a guard than a handrail. A guard keeps one from falling over an edge, and a handrail is what one grabs to prevent falling down a stair. Terminology's kinda important, right? Especially in a professional software used for preparing construction documents... VWIS033
