glass panel railing at stair landing (2017)

[jledgewood409]

i have a stair with a glass panel railing and at the the landing the panels do not seem to connect or join as one might think they would. the panel is a 24" wide glass panel that is my baluster. i am not sure where I went wrong. i am attaching a screen shot of the stair and railing and also attaching the stair and railing revit file

This is a persisting issue with revit. There is no easy solution but there was a very interesting presentation at this year's Autodesk University which I recommend seeing it. It has solutions for this problem which includes custom Railing panels.

Edit Baluster Placement=>Break Pattern at "Never"

Use Landing Height Adjustment ("Yes") and set Landing Height Adjustment (~7") 

Does this give you what you want?

If this is one off, then you may use two types of railing.

RAILING 1 :  for handrail.. ( edit the way you want )..

RAILING 2 : for the glass panels..

if you can manage that then your problem is solved...

now the trick part is, if you want both RAILING 1 and RAILING 2 

in the same railing type....

now you see where you are going...yeah ??

I feel, the split, slope change etc for hand rail and glass panel wont be the same considering

your design, so there's a slight possibility one railing type wont solve your DESIGN problem..

hope that helps you take further decision.

Cheers

ganesh,

how did you achieve the 3rd picture, the picture that looks like a photo.? that is essentially the look that we want. we are having problems with the joins at the top of the stairs.

if you referring to the glass panel adjacent the stair stringer, that would be done with a different glass panel baluster family in the Rail family. That Rail Family would use both a square glass panel baluster family and a polygonal glass panel baluster family. 

...plus, of course, a baluster family for the supports.

I bet he uses a combination a curtain wall for the glass panels and a railing for the handrail.
