Make curved concrete staircase railing...?

Hello!

I was trying to make custom stairs in Revit, using stair sketch tool. The stair is helicadode and has sharp rotation, and it was a nightmare to design so that Revit wouldn't complain, but I still have an issue of staircase railing.

It should be concrete or wood monolithic, and smoothly curved. Instead, Revit makes separate railing piece for each part of the staircase (each run and landing separately) and does not connect them.

I assume there is no automatic function for my case, but I have no idea how to manage this manually. I have tried different tweaks, but nothing works.

 

I would be grateful for your support.

Screenshot of staircase is attached, blue line shows how the railing should go.

 

Thank you!

During the railling sketch, try to to make it with as few lines as possible. Each connection point between two lines will be a breaking point on the railing.
Make to railling in only one sketch. In plan, and select it, choose to change host e clic the stair.

Hello!

Sorry, but to me it's not clear how can I make a stair, especially of such shape, with least lines possible. Even if I use only curve or only pl, it will have to stop at each rotational point...

just do the railing with in situ extrusion for better control.

Sorry, could you explain a bit more in detail what you mean? I am new to Revit, and some things are not very clear for me.
