I am trying to build a two-run stair. The default stair has a railing going all around the landing. Regardless of the application, there is no need to extend the handrail around the landing - guardrail yes, but not handrail. I have been trying to figure out a way to accomplish this, and that's where I'm running into problems.
- If I try to split the railing, it doesn't work as it's still all only 1 railing type.
- If I try o trim the railing, I can't get the new railing to host to the stair (I can't select the stair to tell it to host).
- If I try to sketch a freestanding railing outside of the stair, I can't host it to the stair, so it becomes a dumb object (very un-Revit like). And that's not talking about having to figure out to do the sloped railing on the second leg of the stair.
So, did I miss the proper option? So far all the searches that I've done resulted in nothing usefull. It's as if this is not a problem. Am I the only one?
Thanks for your help

- Edit the railing family
- Copy the entire sketch to clipboard
- Now delete all of the sketch except your first run
- Finish that railing
- Copy that railing in the same place
- Now edit this railing
- Delete the sketched line, paste in your copy/clipped sketch
- Delete all of the sketch except your second run.
- Finish.

That worked, thanks. Rather convoluted way of solving something that should be very simple. Then again, at least we have sketchy lines in 2015... :/
