StairPorn.Revit – 7.31.09: Floating Stairs by Ong&Ong
This stair by Ong & Ong in the Blair Road Residence is the one that really caught my eye when I first visited StairPorn.org, so naturally I had to attempt it early in the series. It was quite a challenge! The treads and risers were quite simple, but the supports didn’t work quite the way I had hoped. I couldn’t use the Railing tool like I had hoped because of it’s lack to use a Top host when you are using the “Post Per Tread” feature.
So instead I ended up using a Generic Model Component for the support threads and simple made the length what it needed to be by hand. I think this stair is beautiful beyond belief and was very happy with the results!

basically that stair will only work as a in place family and is good only for the fixed height of whatever you have used…any other height will force one to readjust the supports so they dont cut through the floors or just dloat out there….nice work though!!!

konrad, this stair is not an in place family, but is created using the stair tool. The “railings” were created using generic models adjusted to match the tread. Maybe I am confused as to what you are saying about the stairs?

Creatio,
I haven’t decided if I’m going to make these stairs available to the public or not. As much as I hate to do it, I’ve thought about charging for the models as I am in desperate need of some income at the moment.
