Hi All,
Yet another issue with stairs & railing in Revit (2017.2)...
I have a 4 story building. The first level's floor-to-floor height is 1.2 X. Levels 2-3 have a floor-to-floor height of 1 X.
The stairs are modeled as one, continuous stair set connected by landings.
I have two issues:
- One side of the stair set needs to have a continuous handrail with fancy gooseneck transitions. The other side of the stair set needs discontinuous, wall mounted handrails (along stairs only, none along landing). Is there a workaround to make this happen?
- I know its best practice to have bldg levels divisible by riser height....The stair set hits the top level correctly but slightly misses floors in between. Floor slabs are highlighted in blue & should act as landings. However, since a continuous handrail is needed as stated above, landings 2 & 3 were created. Is there a way to get rid of these landings & still keep the continuous handrails?
You can get it to work, but you may need the "split railing" functionality tool from 2019 (that at least made it pretty easy for me). I am not sure if it can be done without it.
I got the on pictured to work by creating the multi story stair and then using the split railing tool to split the railing at the intermediate landing/flight, making 3 separate railings. Then i edited the top rail of the railing type to have the extensions at the top and bottom.
Once I had that i could attach to as many level as i wanted and all the edits carry through.
P.S. I know the request was about "wall mounted" handrails, I just did not have that type in the file I was working with. The pipe railing in my picture could have just as easily been wall mounted if i loaded that type into my example.

Thanks for sharing
Yes the split railing tool is pretty handy in these kinds of situations.
