Kind of done it i think! I just copied and pasted the cross section to all the corners of the rail then using the second rail (that i offset before i elevated the points) as a snap guide i rotated the cross sections individually so the were running from corner to corner of the two rails. I then selected the points on the section and dragged them to snap onto the second rail. Then lofted them all. This has seemed to work and moi's nice snapping and selection and interface made it not too much of a chore!! The next challege comes when doing that with straights and curves - but probably do that in separate objects and join together.
With regard to snapping and construction - is there an option to get more construction lines appearing so a point can be referanced with anothers x and y co-ords more easily?
Thanks for people input to this problem.
Cheers
