Tested in Unity 6.0 LTS, 6.3 LTS and 6.5 .Balustrade Modular SystemBuild complete balustrade systems directly in the Scene View - no manual prefab placement, no tedious alignment. The Balustrade Modular System is an Editor tool that lets you construct, extend, and modify modular balustrades through a guided, snap-based workflow. Just click, preview, and build.Prefer to test first? A free LITE version is available - see the link at the bottom.✨ Key Features- Scene View Construction:Build balustrades entirely within the Scene View. Direction arrows guide your placement and a real-time ghost preview shows exactly what will be built before you commit.- Automatic Placement Validation:The ghost start pillar automatically detects invalid surfaces - slopes, obstacles, or objects that would prevent proper construction. Invalid placements are visually indicated before you even click. When no surface is detected, the pillar automatically snaps to Y0.- Continue Build Mode:Extend any existing balustrade from its end pillars. Select a pillar, pick a direction, and keep building - the system seamlessly connects new segments to your existing structure.- T-Junctions & Branching:Build branches from middle pillars (M) and corner pillars (C). The tool automatically replaces the pillar with the correct T-junction piece and lets you continue building in a new direction. Works with both the V1 and the V2 variant.- Corners & Curved Rails:90° corners and curved rails are fully integrated into the building workflow. Inner and outer arcs are handled automatically depending on your build direction.- Close Loop:Connect the end of a balustrade back to an existing pillar to form a closed circuit. The system detects proximity, highlights the connection in green, and replaces pillars with the correct junction type on commit.- Inner/Outer Arc Swap:Select a curved rail and click the button that appears above it in the Scene View to mirror it between inner and outer arc orientation. Neighbouring pillars are automatically replaced (M↔C) and re-oriented. Works with all pillar types and both V1 and V2 variants.- Variant Switching (V1 ↔ V2):Switch entire balustrades between two visual variants with a single click. Each variant comes with 4 New and 4 Worn texture sets for maximum visual flexibility. V1 and V2 use different pillar sizes and rail lengths - the system recalculates all positions using topology-aware repositioning to keep everything aligned. Works reliably even when rail segments have been deleted.- Smart Selection & Deletion:Clicking a rail automatically co-selects its connected pillars for visual clarity. Shift-click to multi-select rails - pillars between them are highlighted automatically. Delete one or multiple rails in a single action; all affected pillars are repaired automatically.- Pillar Protection:Pillars cannot be accidentally deleted. The system intercepts delete commands on pillars to prevent broken balustrades.- Full Undo/Redo:Every action - including full Continue Build sessions - is grouped into a single undo step. Ctrl+Z reverts the entire operation, not individual pieces.- Slope Tolerance:A built-in 1° slope tolerance ensures balustrades are only placed on flat surfaces, maintaining architectural realism.- Performance-Friendly:The entire balustrade uses only 3 materials regardless of length or complexity. Combined with Unity's Static Batching, draw calls stay minimal even in large scenes.🧱 Pillar TypesThe system includes five pillar types that are automatically managed during construction:- End Pillar (E) - Placed at the start and end of every balustrade segment- Middle Pillar (M) - Connects two rails in a straight line- T-Junction Pillar (T) - Connects three rails for branching layouts- Corner Pillar (C) - 90° connection between two rails- Corner 45° Pillar (C45) - 45° connection between two rails🎯 Built for BalustradesPurpose-built for modular balustrade construction - every feature, from snap logic to automatic pillar type management, is designed around how balustrades actually work in architecture.📦 What's Included- Complete Editor tool - no runtime dependencies- Two visual variants (V1 & V2) with all pillar and rail prefabs- All 12 baluster styles, straight and curved- 4 pillar tops- 8 Texture Sets: 4 New (clean) and 4 Worn (weathered) appearances- All pillar types (End, Middle, T-Junction, Corner, Corner 45°)- 62 prefabs, each with 3 LOD levels and a collider- Full Built-In, URP, and HDRP render pipeline support - materials for your active pipeline are assigned automatically on import🆓 Try Before You BuyNew here?
