I have 2 suggestions.  One is to remake the railings completly.  So just go to the railings option and when you draw them pick the stiars as a host.  Secondly redraw the stairs to get the default railings that come in with stairs and see if thoes show up correctly.

 You said you were a student?  In college? Whats your major?

I just looked at it in revit, and didnt realize how your stringers were.  I cant seem to get them to go down all the way, but I also cant recall ever seeing a stair railing having them go all the way down.  You should be able to go into the properties of the supporting post and make them go down to it, but for the others, im not quite sure.  What I ended up having to do for a complex railing was to just create it in place as an implace component/family.  Then with voids/solids i could draw it to what ever I wanted it to look like, so you might try that if nothing else.

It looks like maybe your railing is outside of the stairs. If you move it in does it then attach to the stair treads?

Framerman is correct.  I tried the same thing and moved the railings over the stairs and they attatched.  Good spoting that framerman.

I agree with framerman that your railings are outside of your stairs.  Mine have looked like that before, too.  After fixing that, you might want to add a bottom railing instead of having them go all the way down to the steps.  To do that, click on the railing, right click, choose Properties -->Edit/New-->Rail Structure-->Edit.  This shows Rail 1 only (your top rail)... you have to add Rail 2 (your bottom rail) at maybe 8" height, then choose profile and material.  Next, go back to Baluster Placement-->Edit-->then change the Base from Host to Rail 2.  Cheers!

Well, there is much more simplier way to solve this problem... for future...click on your railings and click on two arrows, that are seen when you click on railings. Railings automaticaly join your stairs...

P.S. look at the picture

Factor, your answer may work in some cases but not all and because of that, it is an incorrect answer. 

 

As in many families, railings are provided with a flipper that factor posted.  This flips the railing inside out from the railing definition line.  That will work if the railing is offset from the difinition line and is symetrical.  But not all railings are meant to be symetrical.  If you are using pickets outside your handrails, those are not symetrical.  If you are using handrail returns at the top & bottom of the stairs, you don't want those returning into the stair.

 

The real keys here are railing sketch line location and how the railing is described.  If the sketch line is automatically over the stair, the railing will typically be hosted by the stair.  Most times you would like this.  But maybe you want your pickets outside this line.  Then look at the offset description in the railing definition.
