Check the host of the rail and of the stringer, make sure that their host is the stair and not something else.

In your stair sketch, make sure you split the boundary line where the landing is. This allows revit to determine which stringer to run flat and which to slope... If its drawn as one then revit doesn't know where to break it. I assume you haven't created it using the run command...

To Arnosandoval: Hi! How do I check the host of the stringer? To Mr Spot: Hi! Spiliting the bondary won´t work because in the sketck mode its impossible to determain the specificate boundary line, or? Will you send me instructions how to do it.? I have creatied the stair using run command. The stair have 30 risers, 10 in each run. Regards Owjan

Sorry lets have another go at this... The lower run seems to be overlapping the upper run in plan... Is this correct? If so you will need to break the stair into two separate sketches for the overlapping segments...

To Mr Spot. Yes, The lower run seems overlapping the upper run in plan.You mean, I have to draw two separate starirs? If so then I have to calculate riserheigth, etc. It's strange revit manages to draw the risers but not stringers!! How would you have done it, send me a file. Owjan

Owjan, Regarding the host Look at the attached image, when you click on any of the lines in sketch mode, you can check the slope at the top on your design bar, you will have three options auto-detect, flat, and sloped, make sure that your railings are following the host you select You can set the host to be the stairs which mean that the railings will follow the stairs.

Okay, This is confusing me as previous to this release you could not finish a stair sketch that had overlapping lines. I just tested your stair and much to my amazement it let me finish the sketch. I now see the issue as you cannot manipulate the stringers normally as the lines are on top of each other. Apart from the railings it works very well for a monolithic stair as there are no stringers. Previously the solution would be to just break the stair into two separate sketchs for the overlapping segment. Personally i don't believe this behaviour was intentional by the factory and would send the file to support.
