Don't Let Tool's Name Deceive You
I think the biggest difference between Revit and Autocad is that most of the tools in Revit have their objective components like walls, floors, stairs.... But anything can be drawn with lines in Autocad. Sometimes this difference makes work easier, but sometimes it’s the opposite.
But we can take advantage of the tools in Revit more than their names, if we deeply understand how they work? I mean, why do we have to make roofs with Roof tool? Is there any reason not to make stairs with the railing tool?

Railing is one of the most useful tools when you want to push the boundaries.
Watch some examples.
Railing can have two kinds of components; continuous rails and separated panels or posts. And it can follow a host. If what ever I want to make has these concept, I always try with Railing first. And most of them work just like I expect.
