Each element member needs its own profile. I need to place vertical elements where ever I need them. Is the Rail Tool the thing to use? Has anyone done this or created a video that explains how?

The more recent versions of AC allow the use of custom profiles in the Curtain Wall tool. From what you describe that may be a suitable option. I haven't had much reason to use the rail tool so I can't advise if it would be a workable option.
