Dashed Stair Nosings at Landings?

[J Lucas]

Does anyone know if the stair tool will draw the dashed stair nosings at the landings? I have not been able to get it to do this. I saw a sample drawing file on the Nemetschek web site where it the dashed stair nosings were drawn at the landing.

What version of VW are you using?

Select the stair object and go to the Settings button in the Obj Info Palette.

Under the General tab, check mark "Draw Dashed Nosing Recess" in the 2D Detail section.

Thanks Katie, I have tried that option. Trouble is, it draws all the dashed nosing recesses on the strair treads but not on the down/riser edge of the landings. Any suggestions?

This is what I'm seeing - is it not what you are seeing?

Turn on "Show Top Tread" in the stair tool.

Katie:

That is what I see if I just draw a streight run. The lack of a nosing at the edge of the landing shows up on a platform L or a platform U. I did some playing around and discovered that although the nosing (at the edge of the landing on the down side) is missing in the stair dialog, plan and 3D, and on the design layer plan view, it shows up in a 3D view on a design layer and in the active section. What gives?

Ooh I didn't try an L or U stair. I'll look into this in the morning.

I still see the dashed lines.

Can you send me a file, please?

The files "Archtiect Eval 01-06" in an introductory tutorial on the NNA web site have a stair symbol in them that has the nosing at the down side of the landing, that is, the nosing is there untill you try to edit it in the stair edit dialog, then the nosing goes away in plan.
