I am working on a design and I have a specific railing in mind but I am not that great at creating railings. Can someone help me? I was wondering if someone could create the railing for me and maybe show me how it was done that would be great. Also I would like the railing to hold the properies of any other railing, meaning that it works on the stairs as well.

Try it. Create the panel with the upright members as a single baluster up to the point that it repeats. Create the 3 intermediate rails and the handrail as rails.

I find it diffucult to do stair railings. Would I be able to apply this to a staircase as well. Is there anyway you can give me like a detailedwalkthrough on how to make it so that I can learn how to for future references.

You can make the railing work with stairs. Use the baluster panel template which has the angles set into it. This may be difficult from a design point of view though and you may need to create different panels for different lengths, depending on the stair length. The panel length will need to fit into the total length in multiples or you will have gaps at the end. How will the design work where you have short sections, such as landings?

There are no landings it is just a curved staircase (half circle) that I want to apply it to. that is where I am having trouble

same railing as flat ... just a different host. If you built your stairs using the stair tools, you already have a railing that is hosted by your stair ... just swap it out with another type.

The stairway to heaven stair, impressive as it is, is quite easy to create. This will be fairly difficult in Revit, particularly if the railing needs to be curved. The panels in Revit are straight so you will need to create it as a series of small panels (the inbetween glazed sections). The difficulty is where the balusters are breached by the circular panels, so you will need to do both panels together. This may look too straight, depending on the curvature of the stair. If that needs to be curved then you would best do the whole repeating pattern as one curved panel for each radius, including the solid balusters and metal straight rails. This in itself will be quite challanging, as you will have to get the curvey railing and infill panels to be parametric to adjust to the stair slope, along with the circles and their different colour (curved) glazing panels. You will need to create void extrusions to cut the curves out of the different panels as they are all different shapes. If there is only one stair I would not attempt to make it parametric. You might look at creating a curved glass panel (simply a rail with the cross-section shape of the glass) and applying the detail as an inplace family, but I don't think that you can cut out the voids from a rail using cut geometry. If you could split the face you could apply the different materials, using totally transparent for the voids, but I don't think that you are able to split the face of a curved surface (although I haven't tried in 2010). My appraoch would be to create the rail using the rail function and create the panels as an in-place family, although others may have different suggestions.
