Node to create stair

Geometry
, , ,

Hello!

I’m using Revit 2018.2 and dynamo V1.3.2.2480.
I’m trying to create stairs going from a bottom line that would be on a given slab to another higher level with the stair family system of Revit but I can’t find a node that would help me.
I’ve been searching for a solution but there are hardly no propositions on the net.
If you know any nodes or other solutions that would get around my problem, could you please tell me.
I’m a beginner in coding with Python but if it is a solution I’m ready to try ;).

Find some info :point_down:
Seems you need to create stair components separately.

Hi All,
I am using the same references as @Thom - see below for what examples I’m trying to pull from. I have gotten passed most visible errors - but the stairs do not stay / commit. This seemed to be other users problems but my commit lines don’t seem to be working.

Thanks in advance to anyone with advice.
