My top rail was nicely centered on my railings but I needed to move over the baluster...and so I have adjusted my baluster to center it up, but the top rail moved over in response to that. I can't seem to find the place to adjust the top rail sideways to also bring it back in line with my railings and baluster. 

anyone know where that is?

hi

hope this will help u

if you really must, you can:

edit/open the TOP RAIL profile family

add an offset parameter. then you can adjust the offset value by editing the type property

You have that "Offset" parameter when you edit rails

No you dont typhoon. the top rail is not in the list of railings to be offset, it is its own thing now. I think the above post is the only way to do it now. 

also, how did you draw a railing that has no "top rail"

Warchitect,

You can still use the guard only railings where the top rail is not skecthed seperately.  Isn't that what you should be using here?

Ah. didnt realize that I could choose "none" as a top rail. OK. but once I do that, this warning comes up and kills my balusters. :-(

can you tell me why? What top reference are they referring to that affects the balusters?

Check the top and bottom references for your ballusters.... I think that since you are deleting the handrail, you will need a new top rail.

Guys, a little late, but just in case: what you have to do in that situation is not to use top rail but "handrail 1 or 2" that have offset parameter and of course set the balusters to top to that rail. Handrails 1 and 2 are different families so you must have them configured. And if you want to move the balusters along the handrail, configure them as "supports" not as balusters, and include them in the handrail parameters.
