stair arrow direction convention


jnr

Recommended Posts

This appears to still not have been fixed in 2008. On the ground floor, the direction arrow on a stair to the floor above goes up. On the upper floor, on the same stair, the arrow should point down, in the direction to the floor below. Why does the arrow, after all this time, still point in the wrong direction (that is, up, and in the same direction as the arrow on the first floor)?????????? Am I missing something or does the software continue to defy architectural convention?

The convention in the UK, NZ, Aus, is to always show the stair arrow in the upwards direction.

But see this thread for more discussion:

Of particular interest might be the 2nd image attached by bc in this post:
