CipesDesign Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Probably this will be easiest if you use more than one Stair object, and then use a Floor at each of the angled landing areas. I'm not sure what the dimensions are in plan, but you might want to also check for building code compliance... Quote Link to comment
lchen Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 thanks that is a good idea Quote Link to comment
lchen Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 thanks that is a good idea I shorten platform and add a red slab to fit wall please see the picture Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Good solution, have to keep that one in mind. Quote Link to comment
Kizza Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Good solution, have to keep that one in mind. If you modeled that bit as a slab you would have an extra line showing in plan, no? It would be better to have the ability to edit the plan profile of the landing. I couple of extra options to the custom stair tool for the Platform-U option would achieve this. Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Good solution, have to keep that one in mind. If you modeled that bit as a slab you would have an extra line showing in plan, no? You can hide sides of a slab like you can do with a poly shape. You can also draw the platform as a whole and draw 2 stair objects. The solution now shows one stair object with a landing and a slab to extend that landing, a better solution to look good in plan view and 3D is draw the landing as one slab object and draw one stair to it and one stair from it.

Problem with that approach is that if you raise the ceiling level then you have to fix two flights of stairs. I like VW's stair tool for control of risers, treads etc but I think what it lacks is the ability to edit/change single components of the stair object, such as the landing in this case. (can do this easily in R___t). Another example of when this type of editing capability would be beneficial - if you had a curved or chamfered tread on the bottom step.

Of course there will always be miner adjustments when the height of your floor changes, but that will always be the case because your floor opening needs to get bigger. Quote Link to comment
