Youtube offer a good set of videos regarding this. The tidying up part is a little bit more complex and will refer to someone else. Select the rail, copy and under Modify Tab select "Align to Same Place" and then edit both rails so that only one path (one continuous line) is within each instance of the Rail Family. The error you encountered is because you cannot have a break with the same path (or instance of the Rail Family). Granted I don't work with stairs professionally but I had a quick play and Railings don't seem that bad.įrom what you have said, it sounds as if you want to change the path of the railing as it is obstructing the door?Įasy, select the rail and edit the path accordingly (i.e that are blocking the door). I'm somewhat confused by the issue you are experiencing.
REVIT STAIR BY SKETCH YOUTUBE HOW TO
Why, oh why does it have to be so complicated and exasperating to draw the simplest of things with Revit?Ĭan anybody out there advise me how to get rid of the unwanted handrails and balustrading? I have read a thread started by KeviNg on 12th February 2016 and replied to by thetragicjoy with a suggestion that does not work because I still get the same error message and if I could find a way to pick the thing I've just drawn over with a copy of the railings, I would get the same error message twice. I did not attempt to separate pieces of railing. If you want to separate pieces of Railing, create two or more separate Railings". When I do this, I get an error message that says it can't be ignored and reads " The Railing line must be a single connected Sketch. So I have tried to use the "edit path" command to get rid of the unwanted handrails and balustrading, and tidy up the join between the handrail to the steps and the handrail to the landing. When I draw the steps and add the landing to it, I get handrails and balustrading to both sides of the steps and three sides of the landing, as if you would want railings to a landing in front of a wall and obstructing the door from the building to the landing. There is a handrail and balustrading down one side of the steps above the outer string and to two sides of the landing. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.I'm trying to draw external metal steps comprising one flight of steps up the side of a building with a landing at the top. By the completion of this computer based training course, you will have a strong understanding of how to create stairs and railings, and be able to apply this knowledge to your own Revit projects. Finally, you will learn how to create a custom bullnose, create and place railings during stair creation, and create and modify ramps. This training video will also teach you about annotating stairs, including how to number treads and risers, modify cut marks, and tag stair components. Tim will teach you how to create a spiral staircase, multi-story stairs, and monolithic stairs. You will then move into learning how to create straight stairs, l-shaped and u-shaped stairs, and add railings to stairs. You will start out by learning the basics of creating stairs, including the tools, types, and properties of stairs. This course is designed for users that already have a working knowledge of Revit. In this Revit Stairs and Railings training course, expert author Tim Dundr takes you beyond the basics of Revit and shows you how to use the tools and features to create stairs and railings.
