In a continued attempt to add value to my Revit textbooks, I recently developed a new 50-page appendix chapter covering the new Multi-Story Stair feature introduced in Revit 2018.
This new online 'exclusive' chapter is based on a presentation I did last year (2017) in Europe on the new Revit feature, which earned the #4 speaker spot. This was at the BILT conference in Aarhus, Denmark. Here are a few conference-related posts:
On a related note, I also had the opportunity to work with the developers on this new feature in 2016 via online sessions and during a week I spent with them in the Autodesk office in Shanghai China.
The result of working through this chapter is a 20-story stair with railings that return in a...
continuous fashion as well as multiple stair types and conditions accounted for. All of this is a single Revit element!
Here are a few partial pages from this new chapter; notice it is metric friendly (click to enlarge images)...
The first stair run is cast-in-place concrete, the second has a channel-type stringer and then the rest is a third stair construction type.
Notice the photo of a real stair condition to help describe what it is we are trying to achieve at this point.
Here is a quick real-time Enscape video, recorded live on-screen while using a 3D Connexion 3D mouse for full cinematic-type control!
Appendix D: Using Performance Analysis in Revit and Insight 360 (44 pages)
Appendix E: Introduction to Lighting Analysis with ElumTools (42 pages)
Below are a few partial images from these chapters (click to enlarge):

Additional 'Advanced Concept' Material Available
In my Commercial Design Using Autodesk Revit book, the new Multi-Story Stair chapter is Appendix F; which is available online using a unique code provided with each book. Appendix D and E are briefly mentioned here as well to highlight some of the 'advanced concept' material I offer teachers and students when they use my books:Appendix D: Using Performance Analysis in Revit and Insight 360 (44 pages)
Appendix E: Introduction to Lighting Analysis with ElumTools (42 pages)

Enscape Images of the MS Stair
Again, just having fun clicking the Enscape Play button to create some high quality, and dramatic, still images of the multi-story stair. This blog post is not a printed document, so I can go a little overboard with the images because it is so easy and fun to do!Please visit SDC Publications for more information.
