I had a question recently about how to create a Revit stair that is stepped in plan? It is actually not that hard to do but the method is not so intuitive – so here are some instructions:
Tapered Stair
For the record, we’ll start with a tapered stair, to get the methodology – as that is very easy:
- Create a stair with a straight run
- Select the run (in stair edit mode)
- Convert the run to a sketch
- Select the run and ‘Edit Sketch’
- Adjust the angle of one or both sides
- No need to trim the riser lines (providing the boundary lines up with the end risers
- Finish the sketch and the stair
Stepped Stair
Follow a similar process as the tapered stair to start with:
- Create a stair with a straight run
- Select the run (in stair edit mode)
- Convert the run to a sketch – this stage is not reversible, so you need to be sure about it
- Select the run and ‘Edit Sketch’
- The sides and back of each step need to be drawn as ‘Boundary Lines’, which show green in the…
