Title: Custom Stairs and Railings in Revit® Architecture 2011
Instructor: Eric Wing
Course Description: In this class, students will learn how to create families for posts, balusters, panels, railings, stair nosings, and of course, those impossible-to-model landings. Focusing on design for high-end commercial and residential projects, this class will dive directly into the use of the Family Editor to physically build the components needed. Once the families are established, the class will move to Assembly in the project to expose the difficulties designers face. The commercial portion of the class will cover extruded steel with glass panels; the residential portion will cover custom handrails and raised panels. You'll also learn how to design winding and spiral staircases, as well as create custom materials with wood hatching that you can apply to the stair components to give the stairs and railings your personal touch.
