Hello,

I have a question about staircase handrail.

I made a stair by " Stair by Sketch". 

The handrail was not horizontal at the turning position.

What is the reason so that i can to modify?

Thanks a lot!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Revit railings!

This is the closest that we can get -

Some points to mention - please look at the highlighted portions of the handrail. To edit, Tab-click to select the handrail, click Edit Type, and edit the Default Join and the Fillet Radius

Thanks for your post, your problem here is a basic geometry issue.

 

The goose-neck is created because the rail cannot resolve the geometry at the junction and by default the railing will cause the goose-neck (the vertical rail) to avoid the goose-neck you can either

  • manually adjust and model/correct the rail at the stair landing,
  • correct the stair geometry so the leading and trailing treads are offset,
  • or manually model the railing.

Hope this helps

A clean handrail is normal accomplished by adding transition segments to the rail to allow the sweep to turn more smoothly.  For example, add a horizontal segment when the slope change direction.  The ideal clean sweep is that every two adjacent segments should be on a single plane.
