( revit building 9 ) I need to reach the level above with a staircase that should look like the picture below (it has a central column that is not displayed in the picture). How do I achieve it? I also want the railing to look like a 1m high, 10cm wide wall (see picture below)... how do I do it?

The only way that I have found to make a staircase similar to the one you are showing is to use a different stair for each flight. So... you align the sketches and make them "seem" connected. I would imagine there is a better way... atleast I hope so.

For the second part of you question: First create a new profile, just a rec 10 cm wide 1 m high as your wall dimension!. Load it into your project Create a new railing system family and introduce that newly created profile as rail structure profile, dont forget to arrange heights and offsets properly. Select none for baluster placement profiles. And viola! In the case you might have other structural elements on top of your wall, add another railing profile, and select the proper material.

You can make the section I circled as one chunk of stair. then you just copy that chunk from level to level (copy to clipboard, paste aligned>select levels by name) you can make anything you want with a stair just can't spiral it back over itself. discuss amoungst yourselves.

No need to copy paste a stair or ramp if floor levels are regular. Create one on the base floor and then within the properties of stair determine "multistoret top level", revit repeats the stair up till that level automatically!

the thing is, I have one "ground floor" and a "level one". The staircase must reach level one form ground floor in the way that I described. From your answers I get that in order to achieve what I want I necessarily need to create intermediate levels between my "ground" and "one" levels. Got it?

You don't need to create new levels. REVIT's rules are that when you layout the stairs, they can not turn back over top of themselves. An FYI - You can do a full circle and furthur as long as no run lies on top of another run. For multi-level stairs, you just need to break down the stairs so that a single description doesn't violate the above rule. If you need to do 4 flights of stairs to get between levels and all levels are the same distance apart, you can do one multi-level stair that does runs 1 & 2 (Level 1 to (Level 1+ 1/2 distance to level 2)) and another multi-level stair that does runs 3 & 4 (Level 1+ 1/2 distance to Level 2) to Level 2)). Got to think out of the box a little ... nothing says that multi-level stairs have to meet each other between levels.

WWHub, What you are explaining seems to be very very very important; but i am confused a little, cause as far i know that it is impossible (because of the nature of sketch environment) to build a stair with flights going over other flights. But you say it is possiible, aint you? Might there be a more detailed explaination somewhere else on this?

No - what I said was that no single stair description can "turn back over themselves". In other words in any one sketch. BUT ... read my post again

I'm starting to get things right! thanx to architurk for the railing tip... the only problem I had was getting the railings to join as I intended when the staircase comes to a corner, but I found a wokaround for that. Thanx again to everybody!
