Curved stair landing

[Positive Space Design]

Hello,

I have attached a screenshot of a stair i'm developing.

I want to add 2 intermittent landings in the curved section of the stairs, screenshot attached with the landings in blue,

 

in the OIP I do not see an option for adding a landing. Neither in the Geometry, Genereal or Construction tab.

 

Is anyone familiar with this design challenge?

 

Thank you!

I seriously urge you to try to model it and then make a symbol.

 

Pure modelling is great fun and you generally get what you want.

 

Ok, so you don't get the parametrics, but who cares!?

What about the Custom Stair tool?

The stair has a ton of features, but flexibility is not one of them, if you want to do a great stair, don't use the Stair tool of Vectorworks, model your own, but take into account you will spend several hours doing so

Thanks all for your comments. I figured I would need to either build a custom stair or model it from scratch.

FWIW

There was another thread on this recently.  

 

Jonthan's method would work well for @Positive Space Design as it is based on the standard 3D tools.

 

Just for comparison, this is the NURBS tools method.  Although it uses less geometry and faster, it does bring with it a new learning curve.  

Note the key is to create a flat spiralling curve.

Glad to see the input from various users.

 

That is why the forums are so important.

Always more than (1) way to achieve the results.
