If you use maya, draw a shape of the 欄桿 by using curves, then create a circle. Put the start of the curve close to where the circle is, rotate the circle so that it "faces" along the curve. select the circle (profile) and the curve (path) then go to surface---> extrude. Use "tube" and "at path" for extrude option. If that sounds a little complex, there's a very handy mel called createTude (or something like that) on highend3d. All you have to do is select the path and run the mel.
As for the middle tubes, just place them as seperate elements, it should be fine for most cases. Place them using the duplicate with transform function can save you a lot of time.
