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 734.
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 173. 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 1123.
