Simplifying the display of stairs within Revit tip

By Dennis Collin

Stairs are a very complex family type and when viewed by default in a project, tend to display far too much information, which makes it difficult to see information such as notes, tags and critical dimensions.

This simplification can easily be achieved by working on the visibility graphics, subcategory settings. Simply switch off all the clutter relating to overhead features apart from the stair body outline!

Once set, the overridden stair and railing display can be saved as a view template setting, along with scale, level of detail etc.
