Revit :: How To Create Railings Along Stairs
Nov 8, 2012
I have a stair that along one side of the sloping part is a window. I have 2 railings along this stair, 1 is a chair rail, the other is a wainscot panel. Obviously the chair rail and wainscot cannot be built to cover the window.
How can the railings be "cut" around the window?
I know how to start/stop the chair rail, but the wainscot needs to continue under the window (keeping in mind that the window is horizontal and the wainscot is sloping with the stair.)

I'm trying to create a flight of stairs by component (Revit 2013). When I view them in 3D I notice that one of the walls from Level 1 that should be "cut" where the stair run intersects the wall @ top of wall, does not cut and instead goes through the staircase up to level 2. How to get this wall to be "cut" following the rise of the stairs? I've remade the stairs dozens of times and it still does not automatically cut the wall.

I have a staircase from the first floor to second floor with a total of 3 landings.. I need to fix the railing at the bottom to go down to 3'0, right now its sitting at 3' - 6"... AT 3'0" it needs to connect to the handrail that wraps around (the red)...normally I can just edit the railing by pulling it longer but since it was a place on host railing.. it looks like it loops around and when I tried playing around with that to extend the bottom rail.. it gave me an error..

To create balconies, do I just extend the floor out to the balcony area and then add railings? Or is there a more appropriate way to do it?

The following is straight from WikiHelp....
To modify the sketch line of the railing, click Modify | Railings tabMode panel Edit Path.
However, everything after"click Modify | Railings tab" does not appear anywhere on my screen. The only active editing tools are 'Pick a New Host' & 'Reset Rail'. Is there a special Revit handshake of dance that I need to know?

My stairs go from Level 1 to 2 and join a concrete floor at level 2.
The stairs are monolithic.
The problem I have is that at the top of the stairs the end riser can be seen and so it appears as an extra tread when viewed in plan.
See attached file, the red cross marks the lines which I need to remove.
I cannot join the stairs to the slab.
How can I remove these lines - is there something better than a masking region? can I set something in the family?

I noticed that Revit likes to show the entire stair going down. This works for me in a lot of cases but I have a project that the second floor is showing the stair all the way down to the first floor, and there is another stair going from the second floor to the third that I really need to see.
Plan regions don't seem to allow me to add a break line below the second floor and see the stair from the second to the third floor. The floors are on and the view is set to hidden.
The attached png shows the up stairs in blue that I would like to see and the Down stairs I would like to cut at the landing.

I can't seem to get the stairs to cut say half way down. The normal view range for the view doesn't cut it, and neither does a plan region. Going up is great, I don't see why cutting it down is so difficult...?

I have the following flights of stairs running down one side of my building:
Landing, 6R with 170mm height, Landing, 3R with 190 height, Landing, 7R with 182 height.
I've modeled this as 3 separate flights of stairs because of the 3 different riser heights. The top landing is a floor slab, as is the bottom landing. I've modeled intermediate landings as either the top or bottom tread of a flight. How do I deal with the junctions of these stairs? The monolithic concrete will not join. The materials of both components are set to <By Category>.

My stairs won't extend up to second floor. I am using Revit 13 and have created many stairs in past with other models. I have tried stair by sketch and stair by component but they keep stopping about 2 feet short of the floor drawing a standard U shape.

See attachment.
I can't figure out why the bas is visible through the floor :s while the middle part is not. The part where you can see the color of the stairs is cut out of the floor.

I am trying to control the height of the camera for a walkthrough so that I can go up stairs. I know that I can activate the "Mini Tour Building Wheel" and can do it that way but it is very clunky to use and I don't always get the right angles. Is there a simple way to control each key frame's heights like you normally would a camera (eye and target elevations)?

What is a good way to finish up the monolithic stairs?
- How can I join the top tread to the upper floor slab? (red circle in attached sketch)
- And is there a way to join the CIP monolithic stairs to the CIP walls? (blue circles)

I have a situation of one sloped floor connecting two horizontal floors. They build together a continuous surface.
I need to join them and have the layers be continuous along the structure. If they were roofs, no problem, I could use the "roof by extrusion" command.
Should I do that? If I try to use floors.....
When I model them as three separate floors, and then Join them, it doesn't work. meaning that the layers within the floor don't match (well, they can't, in fact! I have to move the floor behind!)
If I model one single floor and then add split lines, and move them... it does work. BUT..... I have a stairs on top of it! the stairs have a different slope than the floor, and i need to build a variable layer that fills the void between the floor and the stairs.
So my hypothesis was: I put a sloped floor through the slope arrow... and then adjust one variable layer to do the inflill...
My dream would be to join then floor and stairs.... The material is the same

I wonder how do you create a concrete construction under the stairs?
The way ACA creates stairs looks like just a top layer (tiles or wood panels), but I want to put those tiles on a concrete construction.

I am using AutoCAD 2008... just 2-D design, nothing fancy.
When I draw porches with railings, I often spend many minutes trimming out the objects behind the railing. So if my metal top rail is 1" thick (running horiz) and my vertical rails are 1" wide, 5" on center, I have to trim out all the lines inside those 1" rails.
I received an Autocad file from another designer not too long ago that had some sort of clear fill inside his rails, so the rails hid what was behind it (but it was not colored fill, black or white, or whatever... it matched the background color). If I erased the rail, the window behind it was there in it's entirety.
I tried to 'erase' the fill, but it does not seem to be there. I am so tired of spending 20-30 minutes per house just trimming out the doors and windows behind.

I try to make railings for a scene using the modifier but there is something that does not seem to be correct. The path works fine but the railing does not seem to be straightened. No additional modifiers work above the path so I can not use the FFD or whatever.

I am trying to build a spiral staircase and need to use spline to build the railings. Every time I try to end the spline by hitting enter the spline disappears. I am using 2014, and I have never had this problem before with previous versions.

We have a set of stairs at home that are currently painted white. My wife would like for me to design an image that could be seen clearly from the top of the stairs (such as a tree coming from the basement, etc...) while having another image on the back of the stairs which would be seen from the bottom of the stairs.
Problem : How can I dsign such an image as a one point, I will see both images (when I am at the bottom of the stairs) ? Any ideas ?

So, In this drawing, I have 2 blocks. Stair, and stair section. The one I'm working on is stair section.
What I have is the base of a block that will automatically add steps to the desired height, at a 7" rise and 8" run. I have the array function working correctly. It is inserting correctly, etc.
What I'd like to do is to be able to stretch the frame by typing in the final height of the stairs, and have the length and treads adjust as needed. I'm sure that there is something in the xy parameter actions that I can use for this, I just don't know what it is.

Any good example of ILogic in creating stairs? We generate many different widths, lengths and heights? Been trying to utilize iLogic to make all the different types more easy to create from the start. Have set angle of stringers and certain widths of treads but cannot figure out my rules on the number of treads needed per the length of my always changing stringer lengths. Stumped on how to take a certain length (parameter) and divide it up equally. Top tread flush with top of horizontal stringer and with bottom tread having a minimum and or maximum height the from floor.

NO, I don't have any problem with making a helical hand rail along the circumference of a spiral stairway (or helical stair stringer)!
My only problem is that the method which gives the best visual results (viz. extrude or sweep circle or region along spline) will give a "HEAVY" solid model that HINDERS the performance of AUTOCAD.
Therefore I mostly use the extrusion along a 3D-polyline that gives a a lighter model but less nice visual results (especially when using flatshot for 2D model "representation").
Can I set some system parameters that increase the performance when extrude or sweep along a spline ?
Standard I use a lot of blocks to increase the 3D perfomance of AUTOCAD, this however is not possible when a visual continuous hand rail is preferred.
