Creating a Run Component

Create a common run component in a plan or 3D view.

You can assemble a stair using individual run, landing, and support components. Use the run component tools to create common runs, such as straight, arc, spiral, or winder. To create a custom sketched run component, see Creating a Run Component by Sketching.

• Component-based runs automatically interact with other components in the stair system, such as the landing and supports.
• You can create multiple runs and have Revit automatically create landings to connect the runs.
• You can choose to have a railing created automatically when the run is created.
  Note: You select the railing type in stair edit assembly mode, but you do not see the railing until you click Finish to complete the stair.
• Run components can be individually modified using direct manipulation controls.

Create the following types of runs using the basic common run component tools:

• Straight
  
• Full-Step Spiral (full number of risers to reach the next level, can be greater than 360 degrees)
  
• Center-Ends Spiral (less than 360 degrees)
  
• L-Shape Winder
  
• U-Shape Winder
