PROBLEM ON STAIR AND FLOOR ATTACHMENT

[anindyapandit232]

WHEN I DESIGN A MONOLITHIC STAIR IT DOES NOT ATTACH WITH THE UPPER FLOOR. AS A RESULT IF I CUT A SECTION THERE SHOWS A MARK BETWEEN THE STAIR AND THE FLOOR. BUT ACTUALLY BEING THE SAME MATERIAL THE STAIR AND THE FLOOR SHOULD BE MARGED.
AM I CLEAR?

HOW CAN I SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

PLEASE HELP ME AND LET ME KNOW THE ANSWER.

ANINDYA,

This is your first post, so I'll be gentle! :D

I feel a little clarification is in order. Because Revit works with systems (ie: roof, floor, wall, stairs, etc.), these operate somewhat independently from one another. Even though they may be of the same 'material', the program recognizes that there is a certain 'independence' between the systems elements. You are seeing a joint where these two systems join.

Should these 'automatically' merge? Perhaps. But if you think of how the floor system, and the stair system would be constructed, one is typically done before the other (floor, then the stairs). There is going to be a 'joint' there.

Now... as for a solution - because you're wanting this joint to 'disappear' and not show, simply take the linework tool, choose invisible, then select the verticle joint lines - one for the floor edge, one for the stair edge. This should now appear as being one system.

I hope this helps.

I got the solution.
It was a great help for me.
thanks a lot.

To Kyle.
I do not agree with you for at least two good reasons.

First. Ok, it's true, a monolitc (concrete) stairs is done before the floor. But this is not enough to accept what Revit does. In the real life how many situations like that? Structural columns are not done from lower floor to upper so each floor should has a joint to show? Again, large floors have "real" joint, so do we have to write two floors and not join them together? I think no, so it's natural to think to a monolitic stairs joined to a floor at least with same material.

Second. In the world of drafting I never saw a drafter draw a stairs as Revit does in section. As above, it's natural - joint or not joint - have a drawing "clear" from unuseful lines as Revit does.
