Revit is purpose-built for designing building elements and relating them to the rules of
commonly constructed relationships (doors associate with walls, furniture associates with
floors, and so on). The software is biased toward relationships specific to designing a building
and maintaining those relationships as the design changes. To make things a bit more
complicated, there’s a specific language for creating stairs and railings in Revit Architecture. For
example, Figure 15.2 illustrates the Edit Baluster Placement dialog box for a baluster condition.
