So – you always wanted to have a Stair Family in Revit. Like a real family, something you could load just like a – Family.
That can be done, no dirty tricks, it has all been in there for the last 10 years…
Open an empty Revit project and create a stair. Any stair. Does not matter.
Export your result to IFC – go Application Menu > Export to IFC
Close your Project and open the IFC file. (Application Menu > Open > IFC)
You may now see something like this
Click on it – congratulations, you have created an In-Place stair.
Now we make a Family out of this. When in In-Place editing mode, select all the geometry (or any geometry, does not matter)
Give it a descriptive name…
Then click the Application menu Save As Library
Click on Group – note that you will save the grouped geometry in the In-Place family with an *.rfa file extension
