Hi
Using Revit 2013 (if it's relevant) I am drawing a case of stairs from ground floor to the above top floor. The stairs in the ground floor ar just positioned in the middle of the room, so railings are a must on both sides, but on the top floor there's a twist: on one side there's a wall, so the railings should end BELOW the ceiling of the ground floor. The other railings is normal, and should go all the way to the top part of the stairs and into the top floor.
I have two questions:
Thanks!
In a Plan View, Click (select) the railing, and simply edit the sketch line to pull it back.
You may need to also check the final position of the end of the railing in a section or elevation.
Thanks, but no dice.
I'm interested in cropping the railing to the ceiling and not the wall...
OK-- I see what you mean.
That might require the use of a second railing, with a custom end / baluster / extension.
Just my 2 cents worth here:
I think code will still require a handrail to extend up to the landing, unless it is a residential project
where railings are only required on one side?
I'm not sure from a design point of view that it is necessary to cut it off as you suggest--we have many projects
with similar situations where we just run the stair/railing inside / clear of the the dropped ceiling/soffit up to the landing / floor above.
Thanks.
The code here allows that, and that's how we've been building homes, The thing is I'm sure Revit 2013 has that option stuffed under some sub-sub-sub-menu, an the frustration is due to my limited knoledge of it.
Thanks a lot for you time and effort. I appreciate it.
On item 2, is the railing an upgraded file from 2012 or prior? If so, then if it has the same name as a previous version of the railing, it will not update to use the component based rails. You will need to rename the old one and reimport the new one from a fresh 2013 template file. (You can copy and paste to do this).
