Stair Display

[craig]

We are relatively new to Revit coming from Autocad Architecture and struggling to work with stairs. Modeling them is fine but displaying them correctly is a challenge.

* down runs of stairs do not respect the view depth range

* Down runs just show all has full lines -no break line or dashed risers below a cut plane

* Up runs do not respect view upper range

Am I missing something or do the stairs only half work  when trying to represent in plan.

Autocad couldn't get it right either.... I was really hoping somebody had taught the Revit team what the industry needs. Any points or tutorials would be appreciated

If you can send some pictures and redlines of what you want the stairs to look like in floor plan, I can help.  Thanks.

Down runs always display complete regardless of View range

* Down runs just show all has full lines -no break line or dashed risers below a cut plane

See above

* Up runs do not respect view upper range

Up runs do respect view range's cut plane.  Please show an example if it is not the case.

you can create a plan region to encompass the stairs to modify the Cut Plane and how the single/double lines look if that helps you any.

Thanks - This is an example of what we produced in Autocad - Yes drawn lines but this should be able to be generated in Revit surly ???

[craig]

this seems like alot of work - I was hoping for a simpler solution

Thanks for the link - I haven't yet really tested all the things in it but it was interesting about the 4 foot thing ???
