Adding railing to stairs revit

By steven-g September 19, in Revit Architecture. More and more we are getting models that come from Revit or Archicad IFC and my job is to get quantities from these, I admit that my skills with Revit are sparse but I can find my way around in a model.

Stairs are a beating for me.
