What Revit Wants
Having some problems with a Railing that will not show up in a Detail View unless balusters are added to it! Video:
I’m almost certain this is related to this previously posted bug:
Extents of Revit 2013 Railings bug – when no balusters exist in definition
More on Revit 2013 railings:

Revit 2013 railings – almost 7 months old, but have you used them?
Revitez has picked up that the Balusters subcategory is missing from the Parameter Properties dialog box in the current version of Revit 2012:
If you attempt to make a View Filter, however, the Balusters subcategory IS present!

Did you know that there is a different style of Railing description? This style does NOT have a ‘Baluster Placement’ dialog box. The only Baluster settings in this form of Railing are essentially to select a Baluster family and set a separation (see image).
If you want to use this simpler type of railing definition, you can still download a sample file from Autodesk that includes this older method.

This issue is similar to using legacy mass forms in newer versions of Revit.
