Stairs to floor level

[glkirk]

I don't remember stairs going to the floor level. Meaning- the top tread is at floor level and I need the figure what the riser is and offset it by that much.

I think this is something that has changed!

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks!

Set the stair to reach the level and tick End with Riser for the run.

[glkirk]

That sounds reasonable but with the residential stairs, those options are not there.

You need to be in Edit Mode.  

[ToanDN]

The option is always there. Tab to select the run or just edit stair and select the run.

Thank you all for your help so far.

If you don't mind, I will start from the beginning with attached images.

I'v been using Revit for over 5 years now and don't remember the top tread being at the floor level. In real life that is not the way a carpenter would build his stairs.

Possibly Revit has always done it, I can't be sure, but I would like to learn how to draw them properly.

Some have suggested editing the stair. I didn't know that you could do much in regard to editing stairs after they were made.

I think some have suggested "Tabing" to somewhere??

If someone could look at the shots I made and please help me understand if there is a way to allow the program to automatically determine the proper way to make stairs?

Thanks!

Below is what Revit does out of the box.  You CAN edit a stair after the fact.  Select it and Edit Stair from the ribbon.  Or you can TAB on a component of the stair such as a Run or a Landing to edit it.

Thank you for trying to help me.

I am able to do what you showed me, but all that does is add a riser.

I also thought that maybe by checking both that it maybe "Set" something.

But nothing changed.

My toolbar looks a bit different than yours. I use 2020

I was always under the impression that there is very little that can be changed in stairs after they are modeled. I don't think you can do things like change the number of risers or the dept of the tread after modeling a stair run?

It seems to me that some setting needs to be fixed before I model the stairs.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks!

The proper way will depend on the stair construction and I presume you are talking about carpentry stairs with exterior stringers.

The minimal length straight run "standard" stair I am used to designing for (as opposed to "architectural" of which I am all for!) ends with a small bullnose and vertical riser finish. To achieve this, I do the following:

1. add a landing to the top end of the stair once you have finished your run;

2. erase the automatically generated string on the floor side of the landing;

3. shorten the landing to the desired projection from the floor structure or finish.

Good luck,
