As an instructor of Ideate’s Revit Beyond the Basics courses, I have the opportunity to speak with experienced users about their Revit workflows. One question that comes up often is how to connect stair runs with landings. When we first create a stair, we have the option to use the ‘Automatic Landing’ setting in the Options Bar to automatically connect stair runs. But how do we add a landing if this setting was not originally selected?
Here’s how to add a stair landing in six easy steps:
- Hit <Tab> key until stair is highlighted. Then select the stair.
- In the ‘Edit’ contextual panel, select the ‘Edit Stairs’ tool.
- Now in sketch mode, select the ‘Landing’ tool in the ‘Components’ contextual panel
- In the 3D view, select the first stair run.
- Select the second stair run. The landing will be created.
-
Select the Finish Edit Model.
