Join Paul F. Aubin for an in-depth discussion in this video Working with stairs, part of Revit Architecture 2016 Essential Training (Metric).
- In this movie, we're gonna begin…working with stairs.…Revit contains two kinds of stairs,…stair by sketch, and stair by component,…so in this movie, we'll start…with the stair by sketch,…and we'll look at the stair by component…in a later movie.…So I'm in a floor plan here,…specifically Level 2 floor plan,…and I'm gonna create the stair…that goes from level two to level three.…So I'm gonna come over here to my zoom command…and I'm gonna zoom in down here on this space.…This is labeled the South Stair,…and we're gonna create the stair…in this general location right here.…Up on the Architecture tab…on the Circulation panel, I can click…the drop down next to the Stair button,…and I'm gonna choose Stair by Sketch.…
Now, Stair by Sketch has a few different buttons…that we can look at, and you can see them…over here on the Draw panel.…There's a Run, Boundary, and Riser.…Now Run is typically the button…that you're gonna want to use, and it's lit up by default.…And if I let the tool tip display,…you can kind of see what this tool will do for us.…

5/28/2015Paul also shows advanced techniques for modeling stairs, complex walls, and partially obscured building elements, as well as adding rooms and solid geometry. Finally, discover how to annotate your drawing so all the components are perfectly understood, and learn how to output sheets to DWF, PDF, or AutoCAD.
