I have my plans set to display at 3'-0" above the associated level and 5'-6' below the associated level but my entire down run displays. How do I adjust my display so that only 5'-6' shows below the floor?
Try editing the View Range (keyboard shortcut VR) in the model.
Revit doesn't automatically show stairs below the view range, like it does for stairs above the view range (e.g. break line and dashed lines). You need to manually modify the line work and place break line.
Stairs and Ramps and Floors don't obey the bottom of the View Range in the usual way. It's another one of those hard-coded "exceptions" that are always causing problems for people.
But a break line detail component does not place itself or am I missing something? You still have to manually place it to mask the stair, haven't you?
If you look at my first post; the operative word I used was "manually" (e.g. "You need to manually modify the line work and place break line"). I was just pointing out that the Break Line has a masking region built into it. .
You can still use the Break Line w/o extending the mask. But, yes, you're going to have to modify the stairs in the view with "2D drafting" (e.g. view specific annotative elements) because Revit won't do it for you automatically. Or you could just forget the Break Line and change the projection line pattern of the stair components below the view with Graphic Overrides (e.g. dashed lines instead of solid lines).

I saw that. My problem is that I am now doing 2d drafting. And it takes longer to do it in revit. Plus I have intermediate landings that fall below floor framing and the stairs and stringers show up below (superimposed on top) of the floor framing. If I use mask for this area I also mask out the floor framing and cannot send the mask to the back or bring the steel framing to the front.
I was afraid that was what you were going to say. Yes a detail mask will cover other model elements inside it. We generally don't show stuff below the working level so it is not a problem for me. If you want to show things below the level then you may want to show the stair in its true form, and tone it down a bit. Or VG override it to 100% transparent with dashed line as @chrisplyler shows in the other thread.
Please vote for the Idea to fix this: Cutmark for Stairs going down (&/or obey view range for treads below)
