It's easy! Just create a profile family and load it into your project. Assign the profile to a new railing type, called Clearance. Assign Clarence to the Railing. Place the railing on the center line of the stair. You'll have to fuss with graphics and decide when it should be visible but it's pretty simple. To really show the zone required for clearance a simple rectangular profile off a specified height would suffice and show where no building elements should touch. A quick interference check would help catch problems too.
Cool solution Brian!

Steve,
Although mine isn't as fancy as your little guy, it is just a rectangle, it works well. Plus I almost always use the interferacne check because then I don't have to go to all the veiws to check for the clearance.
Oh by the way I work for myself now BD Mackey Consulting. bdmackeyconsulting.com if you wouldn't mind the plug.

it's time stairs get a review of tools from the boys at the factory. (and girls)
An option to set a clearance would be amazing, in which if set, would show a dashed line of sorts when cut in section/elevation but wouldn't print. eliminating the need to make a railing called Clarence Clearing.
This would make a GREAT update to the stair tools.
LOL!!
That is a funniest and weirdest application I have seen about a railing profile. Nice to meet you Clearance!, oops, I meant Clarence!
Just make sure that Clarence doesn't make it into the construction documents set.
Sweet - cool use of railings
