Parametric Handrail & Fence Generator
A powerful, Java-based procedural modeling tool designed for architects, 3D artists, and CAD engineers. This application streamlines the creation of complex railing systems, fences, and balustrades by replacing manual modeling with a high-fidelity parametric engine.

Whether you need a simple glass partition or a complex curved industrial handrail, this tool generates precise geometry in real-time.

🚀 Key Features

Fully Parametric Workflow: Adjust post heights, rail diameters, panel thickness, and sub-post spacing on the fly.
Dynamic 3D Preview: Integrated JavaFX viewport allows for real-time inspection of geometry with intuitive orbit, pan, and zoom controls.
Curvature Logic: Support for both linear and curved segments with adjustable radii—ideal for spiral staircases or rounded balconies.
Advanced Geometry Options: Choose from preset profiles (Rectangular, Elliptical) or load Custom OBJ/TXT shapes for rails and posts.
Material Physics: Set transparency and reflectivity ($0-100\%$) to visualize glass, polished steel, or matte wood finishes.

💾 Industry-Standard Exports

This generator acts as a bridge between procedural design and production. Export your models to:

CAD: DXF (AutoCAD), SVG (Vector layouts).
3D Modeling: OBJ (Wavefront) with MTL support, 3DS (3D Studio).
Rendering: POV-Ray (.POV) for high-end ray-traced visualizations.
