Multi Level Stairs - Self intersecting stairs

[Andre Baros]

I wanted to post this in Know Issues but I'm not cool enough.

Know Issue: Revit does not support stairs with self-intersecting sketches. There are few very special cases that happen to work - in general, it will not work for now.

Workaround: As a workaround you can create 2 stairs elements without overlapping to achieve proper 3d representation which I believe you had already discovered.

Officially aknowledged: Autodesk Subscription Support Team

Enhanced work around: Start and stop each stair at the middle of a landing. This way the intersection cleans up perfectly each time. Starting and stopping at the spring point can cause issues. Ditto for the railings.

Andre, can you post an example.

Don't think I'm cool enough either, but posted there, it is.
