If you move the shaft on any level, it moves on all levels. The symbolic lines are visible on all
levels too.
Stairs
You create stairs in a plan view by defining the run of the stairs or by sketching riser lines and boundary
lines. You can define straight runs, L-shaped runs with a platform, U-shaped stairs, and spiral stairs. You
can also modify the outside boundary of the stairs by modifying the sketch. The risers and runs update
accordingly. Revit Architecture also generates railings automatically for the stairs. In multi-story buildings,
you can design one set of stairs and extend identical sets up to the highest level you define in the stair
properties.
The number of treads for a stair run is based on the distance between floors and the maximum riser height
defined in the stair properties. A rectangle is displayed in the drawing area, representing the footprint of the
run of the stairs.
When creating new stairs, you can also specify the railing type to be used. See Specifying the Railing Type
for New Stairs on page 667.
You can schedule stairs with parameters that include Actual Rise (riser), Actual Number of Risers, Run, and
Width. See
Creating a Schedule or Quantity on page 125. You can also tag stairs with the stair tag family. The
stair tag is available from the Annotations folder of the Revit Architecture family library. For more information,
see
Tags on page 1064.
