Joining stairs and ramps to adjacent elements

[Anonymous]

Allow stairs and ramps to join with floors and walls, so elements read correct in views without having to manually hide lines.

When modelling stairs you want to model the element as it would be typically constructed i.e. with a stair tread continuing up to the floor surface. The result of this however is that when viewed in plan the stair looks like it has an additional riser where it meet the floor. With out elements typically this would be removed by joining the elements, however with stairs and ramps this is not possible to join.

As far as I know, you can join a stair (by component) with a floor. In a section this produces the correct representation of a notch connection. However, where the top of a notch is in fact part of the upper tread, in a floor plan the notch is withdrawn from the tread depth. It is one of the weird situations where Revit does not show what you would expect based on view properties and geometry. I would really like to see that changed!

I have to agree with Christiaan. We need better joining behavior between floors and stairs (especially with precast notch connections). Also, we want to join a stair with a landing of another stair (again, with the proper notch connections).

I don’t know why, but until this day, it is impossible to join the stair to the floor. Yes, we can join the bottom of stairs but why not the upper part? If we cut the stair, we need to use the linework tool to make a “connection” between stair and floor. I think it is time to solve this strange behaviour once for all.

join stair to walls also

ability to be able to properly clean join concrete stairs to concrete slabs with the same material properties.

Strongly agree.....especially when detailing stairs/reinforcing in the structural model

 For the love of Steve Jobs! Please get this implemented already. It's killing me.

Wall should be able to attach to Stair bottom.

also stair top to be able to join the upper floor

Tread numbering should only for stair part visible in plan

[pieter4]

The fewer join restrictions the better. Ideally I would be able to join a stair with anything.

In order of priority

- floors/roofs

- walls

- railings (for same reason as walls)

- other stairs

- ceilings

If both elements are the same material they should be no line between them (they should look like 1 object).

- generic models

Totally agree.

On the grounds that Ramps, Stair cannot join corretly, it would be great if it is possible to join monolitic stair correctly to floor and walls,as well as their landings
Ramps-still do not join with other elemnents,it could be great to give the possibility to have complex material for
the ramps Finishes ,structure

especially important to join floors with stairs in order to get rid of the extra line that shows up in plan when we have a stair with "end with tread". Now contractors misread that as an extra riserline! so if we could join stair with floor and that line would go away that would be great

Come on, this is a must for every project.

I find Revit so frustrating

[Kevin.Bell]

Revit should join a stair flight to the landing seamlessly (without a line).

When a line is shown is incorrectly appears as a tread on plan - which is misleading.

Monolithic stairs join seamlessly, this functionality should apply to all stairs.

See image.

[tony.harwood]

We accomplish that by extending the landing.

[Kevin.Bell]

Yea, agreed there are workarounds, but really it should work the correct way in the first place...

@Kevin.Bell  Here are some similar Ideas. What do you think about combining one or more of these with yours?

Thank you for your submission!

Hi Kimberly,

The last post - Joining stairs and ramps to adjacent elements - is the same as the one I'm suggestion, perhaps combine it with that.

The other posts illustrate that there is still a lot of work to be done on the stair tool in Revit!

Thanks.
