Convert Generic Model imported from Speckle into Revit

Help

Hello,
Specklers,

I have a Rhino model of a staircase which i imported into Revit using a Speckle stream, the treads and risers are imported as Generic model.
Would really appreciate if anyone can suggest workflows for converting each of these generic model into Revit Staircase families ( treads, riser ,etc). Below is the screenshot for the same.

Goal : To create an analytical model for stairs ( Structural Analysis as Plates)

Existing working solution(not preferred) : Model an inplace staircase to match with the generic model of imported generic model. Not sure its efficient as it results in duplication and inefficiency and is not true interop !

WIP solution i am working on: Create a speckle schema object in Gh script for each of these ( mapping Revit families to Rhino elements) and then push it to Revit via stream. Will post my findings

Any other ideas appreciated. :slight_smile:

Please let me know if you need more information. Note: Cannot share my model as its confidential, but can share screenshots

Thank you for the help, Speckle community.

Best
Abhishek

Are you using Next Gen connectors? This, for now, is the expected outcome.

Before the next generation, you should be able to use the Mapper tool to achieve this. Mapping Tool (alpha) | Speckle Docs

Just a quick clarification on what @jonathon said: using the v2 connectors, you’ll be able to decide the category of the Direct Shape and set it to Stairs (instead of Generic Models), but there is no feature to generate native Stairs in Revit at the moment.

Thanks @jonathon . i followed the Mapping Tool documentation, and it worked.

Appreciate this @teocomi for letting me know. I will be exploring on how I can create analytical model in revit from these “Stairs”.

My current Revit import looks like this :
