Revit Stringer Extension - Transitioning into Baseboard / Skirtboard

[jordanmcc7]

From what I can tell, extending and/or shortening the ends of Stringers has become a problem for numerous users:

Extend Stair Stringer? - Required a fake landing at the top to mimic an extension. Extremely impractical.

Can Stair Stringer be Extended? - No Solution, user suggested the Development Group look into it.

Stair Stringer Modification - No Solution

Stair Stringer Extension - Outdated 2011 Solution after the advent of Stair Components in 2013+
Component Stair - Extend Stringer End - No Solution

Myself included:

Revit Stringer Extension - Transitioning into Baseboard / Skirtboard - Though I marked a Solution, it was a "quick and dirty" one that did not resolve the larger issue at hand, as it was only a crude work-around for niche scenarios.

That being said, I will be sharing what I believe will ultimately solve the problem in one of two ways in order of level of difficulty and range of functionality:

Solution 1:

Allow the Stringers extend with the boundary lines of a sketched stair path: 

Solution 1 - Extend Boundary Lines

According to the outdated 2011 solution (see above or click this link), it was previously possible to manipulate the length of the Stringers in this way. Though it does not account for users that wish to insert their stringers in a negative direction, it would allow them to horizontally offset either one or both Stringers to their desired length.

Solution 2:

Make a new parameter and ne-name an old favorite:

Rename the "Extend Below Riser Base" to "Vertical Stringer Offset"Include a new parameter entitled "Horizontal Stringer Offset".

Currently, the Stringers can be vertically cut or extended using the "Extend Below Riser Base" parameter when editing Stairs.

My solution is that we rename the "Extend Below Riser Base" to "Stringer Vertical Offset". This would be coupled with a new parameter entitled "Stringer Horizontal Offset". These would work very similarly- allowing the user to offset/inset the stringer by inserting positive/negative values. (if you like, we can debate names)

All I know is that transitioning the Stringer/Skirt Board into the Baseboard is a VERY common scenario, among dozens of other applications that would be greatly improved with the development of either Solution. Please let me know what you guys think.

I would also vote for being able to extend stringers.  We used to be able to do that.

still looking for a way to do this ! i do like the way this is posible in archicad where you can set the cut line with a distance from the stairs, with an offset like an instance parameter.
