Hi
I am trying to create a stairs with winders as shown, I have imported a typical CAD drawing that we use that is drawn correct.
The risers and goings are correct but the strings never seem to work (see attached typical examples). I know that there have been similar posts, but none seem to address the complexities of this.
Help will be gratefully appreciated.
Handrails thats for another day.

The stringer object in Revit will not do what you have done to the actual stringers in the shop. It has never been suited for a shop drawing level of detail. I'd model the risers and treads with the stair tool and use no stringers. Then model the stringers as an inplace family.

Even putting the stringer in the railing wouldn't help since your stringers vary in thickeness and curve as well.

Thanks
Is it possible to achieve something close without the curve and the varied string depth an example of what could be achieved would be appreciated.
