I always wanted to have parametric metal pan stairs drawings.
Where I can use them as templates, change what I need on them and they would
update automatically.
I'm looking into Revit to see if this is feasable for the type of work that
I do.
I have a link of a stair that I want to setup with Revit to be able to do
this for me.
Let me know if you think Revit can be setup to do these types of drawings.

Am I wasting my time looking to see if Revit can produce drawings like the
way I need them done for my stairs?
Many people have looked at my drawings here and over at AUGI; but no
preplies except from Scott Davis saying that it can be done and another
reply at AUGI saying that Revit leaves much to desire with stairs.
To this date I got one for and one against.
Can some other users give me some feed back before the 15th of this month?
It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks;

| You can get basic (macro level detail) stairs from Revit parametrically that will allow you to layout an entire run vertically for overall sections.
You will still find it necessary to document most of the finer details in a conventional 2D fashion. The stair tool has not progressed to a production detailing level yet. Where every aspect of a stair assembly is part of the stair style.
Plan representation of stairs has limited control over arrows and cut planes (aided somewhat by plan regions).
It looks like you could re-use a great deal of your 2D details for stair start, landing and end conditions. If these are used in drafting views then the sections and views will stay coordinated much more easily perhaps than how you are doing now?
So the answer depends on how well the coordination of the bldg and macro level stair assembly helps you identify the issues that a project presents. Since you are in the Bay area try to hook up with a fellow Revit user at one of the local user group mtgs that happen there monthly and see if someone will help you evaluate it more thoroughly?
You might consider starting a conversation with Revit support to find a way to help the Revit product team address stairs in a more meaningful way for your niche.
