steel safety stairs design

[bagiolino]

Hello everyone, I'm in front of a crossroads...
I have to design an architectural building of an old barracks redeveloped in offices and of course, being a public structure, I have to draw a beautiful external security staircase in steel, like those that are seen in all schools, with pillars he etc. I attach a photo to make me understand better.
Now, since I don't know where to start drawing it (I don't think you can do with the simple "scale" command given its complexity) I'm fought if you still try to draw in revit or if you stay on the usual old carcad... .
in money, I'm afraid I have to do twice the job (for the boss's happiness) but I understand that if I don't throw myself I will never totally pass to revit and the thing a bit I'm sorry given the potential it offers!
how would you designate the scale in question? ?
thanks in advance and good work!

looks perfect for revit.
the only problem could be identified in the type of profile that supports the scale and landings.
possibly create the structure with:
- the pillars
- the structure of the scale (planeruples and ramps) without lifts (only pedestrians)
- support beams of landings and ramps with appropriate beams and profiles

you could also accomplish it in this way:
1) scale without lifts that will be completed with the following elements;
2) a first railing for the handrail and the main lifts;
3) a second railing for the central part that will be built with two circular beams and two terminal pillars (initial and final) to connect the profiles of the beams;
4) the structure of the staircase (traves under a landing and under a sloped ramp) realized as a railing constituted by only one traverse whose profile is an ipe beam;
5) general bearing structure shaped with beams and structural pillars he

ciao forse per la tua scala questa famiglia può essere d'aiuto ? http://www.revitcity.com/downloads.php?action=view&object_id=10063

thank you all for the answers! !
gfrank, so I recommend you create it directly in the project using the "scale" command and inserting structural elements... I thought I had to create a family on purpose, maybe based on floor, and draw it as I usually do in autocad and that is element by element.
alpearchitect, thanks x the file, but has defects such as the connection between the profiles of the landings and the obliquious ones... However, it is a great starting point!

draw the ladder, and remove the lifts:
- properties of the type>alzate> type of lift = none
and only the pedestrians remain

for the structure of the staircase (stainment of the steps)
in the section: ladder mounts
use the mounting type = closed
define thicknesses heights etc.

if the type of mounts does not hold you
in section : climbers = nobody
and only the pawns and the railing remain

completes the structure with inclined beams....

http://www.cad3d.it/forum1/images/smilies/confused.gifHello.
I am new in the forum and therefore I greet everyone.
in my work (metal constructions) I often make many stairs.
they recommended me revit to design them but you can tell me which one is most suitable,
structure or architecture.
Thank you.

if you only take care of metal constructions or any other. Go to inventor rather

Thanks for the advice.
you can also direct a 2d software for the design of metal constructions (type autocad).
I am now facing the 3d
