There are others, in fact most of them are editable.

If you want a different design still, TrussMaker is your friend.

thanks Djordje, but i have tried them all and can only change the rail length,overhang etc not the angle of the entire object.
could you explain a bit further which ones i can do it with and how. many thanks.

In the railing settings boxes
Parameters tab> General Settings> Inclination angle.
Or, as Djordje said, use trussmaker.

Not knowing what style you want, you could also
-make the handrail with a custom profile assigned to a beam which can be sloped and then create your own pickets...
- the pickets can be made with custom profile assigned to columns
-or the curtain wall tool can be used

hmm, so many ways to choose from.
Archicad is a toy, have some fun exploring.
So, what style did you want?
