Hi @batshevaglatt,

Welcome to the Autodesk forum.

Yes, you can do that.

In the picture you can see how you can do that.

hi

@mpeperkamp thank you for your reply.

I don't think this is the answer to my question.
If you look at the picture I attached in my previous post, you can see that both the risers and the treads are each composed out of two materials.
In this case it's a steel construction covered by wood. 

is it possible to copy that in revit?

hope you understand what I mean

@batshevaglatt: I think @mpeperkamp did answer your question, but if you want another method: try using the Paint Tool to apply a veneer like is shown in your image.

...btw, I don't "see" it the way you do. I see a single steel stringer (perhaps an inch thick) with composite wood treads and risers attached to it. That's how I would build it.

@barthbradley

this is exactly what I need. Can you explain what you did?

thank you very much

It’s a “Run Type” (listed under “Construction” in the stair’s Type Properties)

Run Type Properties:

System Family = Monolithic Family

Underside Surface = Stepped

Structural Depth = 0’ - 1”

Tread & Riser Thicknesses  = 0’ – 2”

You can define the Monolithic, Tread and Riser materials in this dialog box as well (under “Materials and Finishes”)

I used the Paint tool to apply the “veneer” material o/ Tread & Riser faces.

Thank you very much! It helped me a lot!
