multi-landings(or Multi-Flights) Stair!

Hi everyone

i have a problem of creating multi-landings(flights) stair (i.e. 3 flights) . revit is showing an error message for the creation:("Highlighted lines overlap. Lines may not form closed loops.").If i ignore the message Revit will creat it but the handrail will look strange and cannot be fixed! Any help?

thank you in advance Edited by: archmohammeds on Oct 19, 2008 5:05 AM

Post an image of the stair you are trying to create and/or post a RVt with the stair only.

Archmohammeds and all

I can direct you to the correct place to look for the solution to this problem.
Just email me at kinney@ellenzweig.com
I don't think it's right to cross post and yes the answer is posted else where thus I'd rather give the info personally instead of posting it here at autodesk.

The link worked fine for me. Below is the text from
the link:


Issue


You tried to create a stair with three runs, but cannot because the flights
overlap.





Solution


Stairs cannot overlap each other. However, by manipulating parameters and
creating two stairs on top of each other, you can create a three-run stair. Here
is the basic methodology:


To create the first and second run



  1. Determine the height of your second landing. (Typically 2/3 the total
    height of the stair.)
  2. Click Stairs Properties on the Sketch tab and set the stairs parameters
    for the first two runs of the stair to the following values:
    Base Level =
    Level 1 (or starting level)
    Top Level= Level 1 (or starting level)
    Top
    Offset= Height determined in step 1
  3. Using the Stairs tool on the Modelling tab of the Design bar, draw
    the first two runs of the stair.
  4. Click Finish Sketch.

To create the third run



  1. Create a new stair type and clear Begin with riser in the
    type.
  2. Click Stairs Properties on the Sketch tab and set the stair instance
    parameters for the third run to the following values:Base Level= Level 1
    (or starting level)
    Base Offset= Height (determined in step 1 when creating
    the first two runs)
    Top Level = Level 2

  3. Using the Stairs tool, draw the third run
  4. The first "tread” will be the landing.  Draw the first riser along
    the edge of the last step of the second run. 
  5. Draw the boundary or the stair of the 3rd run. Place remaining risers
    as required.
  6. Set all boundaries of the first tread (acting as the landing) to Flat
    on the Options bar.
  7. Click Finish Sketch.
  8. Edit the rails of the landing to the correct shape and select Flat on
    the Options bar. 
  9. Click Finish Rails.
  10. The landing stringers and railings will be too high. Edit the stair sketch
    and the rails sketch. Use Height Correction from the Options bar to
    lower them. Use a negative value as required to position them correctly.
  11. In the stair type, enter a value for the Extend below Base
    parameter to set the bottom of the stringer. (Use the same negative value
    that you used in the previous step to modify the stringers and the
    railings.)

The other way workaround is to setup the third run boundary lines offset a very little distance from the bottom ones, so they are literally not overlapping. vola.
