Christiaan Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I've found that if you duplicate while viewing the upper level of a (PIO) Stair and then move it, it will then move the lower level of the original stair. It seems to work okay if you duplicate the lower level. I'm still experimenting, but do others have this problem? Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 Actually it doesn't appear to be consistent. I have another stair that behaves the same way whether you duplicate from the lower or upper level. Quote Link to comment
CRSA_890 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 We have a similar problem. When you have a stair (set to get floor to floor heights from the layer heights), and you mirror it, or duplicate it, then delete the 2nd one, the first one is deleted also, almost like they are linked. Odd... Spinner VW 12.5.2, Intel Mac Pro 2.66 Ghz, Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted August 13, 2007 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 13, 2007 Christiaan, do you experience this on documents created in VW 12.5.2? Stairs from older documents may be corrupted, and need to have the 'Fix Stair Associations' script run. Can you nail this down for me? Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 Yeah it's our template, so it was created before 12.5.2. Where do I find the Fix Stair Associations script? Quote Link to comment
Gerrit Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) Whenever you duplicate a stair that is set to fit a Floor to Floor height, open the Object Info Palette, switch to the Data tab and delete the contents of the top box (object's name). This text will be recreated automatically, but now you have two independant Stair objects. This tip was originally handed to me by Robert A - thanks ;-) Edited August 13, 2007 by Gerrit Quote Link to comment

Christiaan Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Thanks Robert, will this fix stairs that are not placed in the drawing? (i.e. only in the Resource Browser)? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted August 14, 2007 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 14, 2007 Stairs in the Resource Browser would not I think have this problem. Are your stairs in the RB set up for layer-to-layer? Seems like a potential problem. If you can cause this error to happen by doing this, please submit a bug. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Thanks Robert, I've ended up resolving the problem by simply stripping out any old stairs and starting again with the new stairs from the v12.5.2 Library. Quote Link to comment
