Does anyone have a good method for creating a stair that has multiple floor levels and a continuous handrail? The caveat is that the floor heights don't share a common riser height denominator. Any insight on this would be helpful. Thanks!

Its tricky to successfully get a handrail to do everything you need especially where it ascends up a stair case at an angle and then continuous on the next level on top of itself. Its also confusing to you and Revit.

Sometimes you just have to create the stair and railings from separate individual parts and have them meet at a common face. Visually the separate parts will appear correctly in plan, section and elevation but in reality they are "lego pieces".

I hear ya about the seperate parts. What have you typically done? Create seperate handrails, modify extensions...I've been finding that I cannot quite get these to meet at common faces at every instance which makes the overall appearance a bit sloppy. Let me know if you have a good procedure in this case. Thanks so much for your reply!
