To change instance properties, select the stairs, and modify parameter values on the Properties palette.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Constraints | |
| Base Level | Sets the base of the stairs. |
| Base Offset | Sets the stairs' height from its base level. |
| Top Level | Sets the top of the stairs. |
| Top Offset | Sets the stairs' offset from the top level. |
| Multistory Top Level | Sets the top of the stairs in a multi-story building. The advantage to using this parameter (as opposed to sketching individual runs) is that if you change the railing on one run, that railing is changed on all the runs. Also, if you use this parameter, the Revit project file size does not change as significantly as it would if you sketched individual runs. Note: The levels in a multi-story building should be a uniform distance apart. For example, each level should be 4 meters apart.

| Graphics | |
| Up Text | Sets the text for the Up symbol in plan. The default value is UP. |
| Down Text | Sets the text for the Down symbol in plan. The default value is DN. |
| Up Label | Displays or hides the Up label in plan. |
| Up Arrow | Displays or hides the Up arrow in plan. |
| Down Label | Displays or hides the Down label in plan. |
| Down Arrow | Displays or hides the Down arrow in plan. |
| Show Up arrow in all views | Displays the Up arrow in all project views. |
| Dimensions | |
| Width | Width of the stairs. |
| Desired Number of Risers | The number of risers is calculated based on the height between levels. |
| Actual Number of Risers | Normally, the same as Desired Number of Risers. However, it may be different if you do not complete adding the correct number of risers for the given run of the stairs. This is a read-only value. |
| Actual Riser Height | Displays the actual riser height. The value is equal to or less than the value specified in Maximum Riser Height. This is a read-only value. |
| Actual Tread Depth | You can set this value to change the tread depth without having to create a new stair type. Also, the Stair Calculator can change this value to satisfy the stair equation. |
| Identity Data | |
| Comments | Specific comments on the staircase. |
| Mark | A label created for the stairs. This value must be unique for each stairway in a project. Revit warns you if the number is already used but allows you to continue using it. (You can see the warning using the Review Warnings tool. See Reviewing Warning Messages.) |
| Phasing | |
| Phase Created | The phase when the stairs were created. |
| Phase Demolished | The phase when the stairs were demolished. |
