About this asset

This Revit annotation symbol provides a clear, scalable graphic for documenting stair tread depths in technical floor plans. The family consists of a linear array of circular symbols designed to represent stair treads in plan view. It features parametric controls for the overall length and the specific tread depth, allowing for precise alignment with custom stair designs. The graphic is clean and vector-based, ensuring it remains legible at various scales within a documentation set. It includes clear labelling for length and tread depth, conforming to standard architectural drafting conventions. The component is lightweight and designed to be placed directly onto floor plan sheets or within drafting views for consistent project-wide stair representation.

The download is a 256 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Users load this family into a Revit project and place it within a drafting view or directly onto a plan sheet as a detail component. Because it is a 2D annotation family, it does not require hosting on a 3D surface, making it highly flexible for custom stair details. Adjustments to the tread depth and total length are made via the properties palette, ensuring the symbol matches the specific dimensions of the stair flight being documented.

This annotation symbol is essential for architects and structural engineers during the production of construction documents. It is specifically used in stair details, section cuts, and floor plan layouts to clearly communicate tread dimensions to contractors and building inspectors. By standardising the representation of stair components across a project, it ensures clarity and consistency in technical documentation. It is particularly useful for complex stair configurations where standard Revit stair tags may not provide sufficient clarity or flexibility for specific detailing requirements.
