How to Draw Railings on Sloping Walls in Revit
In real-world projects, you may often encounter situations similar to the one shown in the image. So, how do you properly draw railings on a sloping wall? What is the best approach to handle this?
2. In this scenario, start by editing the wall’s profile according to the design. First, create the desired wall contour shape. Draw the wall as illustrated, and then annotate the height difference and length of the sloping wall in the elevation view. These measurements will be essential for the next steps.
3. Next, switch to the floor plan view and select the Ramp command. Using the height difference and length data you just noted, set the elevation, offset, and width of the first ramp section in the properties panel.
After drawing the first ramp section, remove the railing from the opposite side and apply your preferred railing type to the remaining side.
4. Draw the second ramp section using the same method as the first. Remember to label the height difference and length for this sloping wall segment as well.
5. Finally, draw the railing on the middle section. You can find the standard railing and handrail drawing tools in the Floor Plan view. Simply draw the railing path upwards, and check the elevation in the 3D view to make any necessary adjustments. Once all three sections are complete, permanently hide the two ramps. This allows you to successfully create railings on the sloping wall!
