stairs

Is there a way to create stairs using Lyrebird?

I generated stairs in Revit and saved them as a family template. When I click on the LBOut component the name that I gave to the family of stairs is there, but then it gives me an error and Revit does not draw them...

Ok, I got it, using points instead of vectors as an input...

I don't think I ever tried to make stairs with lyrebird, so I guess it's good to know that it works. There are probably a handful of categories that are created differently than most others in which I haven't created explicit creation methods for even though they show up in the families list.

I do know that a vector on it's own will not create anything. You have to use points and lines for it to even know to create anything.

Yep, I used a curve as an input and first I tried to use a vector and it didn´t work, apparently if the inputs are a curve and a point it works well. Indeed I just tried with a point and it also works. Of course, you have to define the stair family first in Revit and save it with a name that will appear under the possible set of familes from which you can choose when you double click on the LBOut component.
