When creating a stair by sketch, you can sketch boundaries and risers instead of having Revit calculate the stair run automatically. This method offers more control when sketching the footprint of the stairs.
Revit Stair Component Sketch Tool Rules Last month I posted opinions about the pros and cons of doing sketched stairs using the old tools or the new Component Sketch tools. Now we are going to look at some of the detailed differences between the two methods. Go to Revit Stair & Railings Index Page Hong Kong Edit: Revit 2018 has a new. 14 Tips To Understand Revit Railings. October 18, 2017 Nicolas Catellier. 1- CHOOSE BETWEEN SKETCH A PATH OR PLACE ON HOST. When creating a railing, you can pick between of two creation options: Sketch on Path or Place on Host. SKETCH ON PATH. When adding a railing to stair Treads, the path offset will be set to 25. When adding a railing.
To sketch boundary and riser lines
- Open a plan or 3D view.
- Click Architecture tabCirculation panelStair drop-down (Stair by Sketch).
- Click Modify | Create Stairs Sketch tabDraw panel Boundary. Sketch the boundaries using one of the drawing tools.
- Click Riser. Sketch the risers using one of the drawing tools.
- Optionally, specify a railing type for the stair. See Specify the Railing for a New Stair by Sketch.
- Click (Finish Edit Mode). Revit generates the staircase with the railings automatically applied.

Railings for stairs with landings
When a landing is included in stairs created by sketching boundary and riser lines, split the boundary lines where they meet the landing so the railing accurately follows the landing and the slope of the stairs.
- Select the stairs and click Modify | Create Stairs Sketch tabModify panel Split.
- Split the boundary lines where they meet the landing.
To modify stairs sketched with boundary and riser lines
Select the stairs, and use the drawing tools to change the footprint. Modify the stair's instance and type parameters to change its properties.
Tips
- Do not connect left and right boundary lines to each other. You can sketch them as single lines or multi-segmented lines (for example, straight lines and arcs connected).
- Connect riser lines between the left and right boundaries.
- The top riser line on a run of stairs represents the actual riser without a tread.
