Stairs disappear when flipping the direction

[Anonymous]

I have created a stair by sketch in Revit 2018, but I accidentally made them rise the wrong way. When I click the "flip the direction" arrows, the stairs only show top two risers and the inner railing in 3D. In plan view everything´s normal. When I flip them back they show in 3D again.

What´s wrong with the stairs that I´m missing?

There´s two photos defining my issue.

Can you share the stair?

Now even with the "good one" couple first risers are missing.

Do you need this to be a monolithic stair? When the stair type is switched to Industrial and Assembly, then it works perfectly.

You sure it disappeared?  Looks to be outside of the section box. I thinks it there; just pull your section box out. No?  Nevermind. Just opened your stair file. 

Can't flip it, but can mirror it  -- but not without losing rails.

@barthbradley it's crazy, but the stair behaves better when it isn't monolithic.

The stair sketch is screwy. It is not displaying correctly in either flip direction. Edit Sketch and check it out. The stairs aren't modeling half of the boundary/riser lines along the defined path.

Yep.  Make sure riser and boundary lines meet properly.

Ha. @ToanDN - even when I went in and made sure the riser and boundary lines met as they were destined too, the stair did not work as a monolithic stair (which is what the OP wants), but behaved impeccably when changed to the Industrial Assembly (or something like that) stair type.  Whaddya think?

[barthbradley]

I think the stair is confused. Maybe it's having some kind of identity crises. But, let us not judge it. Let us accept it for what it is. 

[Sahay_R]

It's OP who needs to do teh accepting, @barthbradley - not us!!

Thanks for checking my issue. I need the stair to be monolithic so I ended up making the sketch again since the flip is not possible.

And ps. Now that I´ve made the sketch again the flipping is possible. So whatever was wrong with the original stair I really don´t know.

Having very similar problem here but with auditorium stairs. I have created them following the lines of the 2d drawing and it creates it opposite way than intended. So thought flipping it will solve the problem but it doesn't. 

Now when creating it I got this message [Line in Sketch is slightly off axis and may cause inaccuracies]. Maybe Ill try recreating all the lines in revit from scratch instead of picking them from autocad reference drawing ?

Yes, Revit will sometimes throw that error message when picking lines from Cad.

To address this, when importing/linking the cad file, there is a check box for "correct lines that are slightly off axis".

Alright but what to do when I have created my own lines and geometry from scratch and after 4 h of working with it it became see through too. Additionally is there an easy way to create this sub steps marked in red circle than tracing 2D lines and then creating a floor slab and changing the desired elevation of it ? 

Thanx ! 

[cbcarch]

You could try using a Slab Edge/profile.

This is happening to me too. I've created a monolithic stair by sketch. Everything seems fine. In Plan view it's showing up properly but when I look in 3D/Elevation the final three risers are gone. I'm not getting any error messages.

Extremely frustrating stair function
