buz Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I want to create a set of stairs from one floor to another. they will have a landing and will start (at the upper floor) 7' 6" from an inside corner, then turn left at the landing to finish to the lower floor. Seems no matter how I try to create these stairs they never configure to fit my parameters. Any hints? ,,, Thank you. Quote Link to comment
buz Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 Robert essentially I have a set of stairs that NEED to start 'down' beginning 7'6" from an inside corner. At the corner there will be a landing with the stairs making a left hand turn to the finish floor below. The over all finish floor to finish floor is 9' - 3/8". Where the stair turns at the landing I am trying to determine the head height for where the existing floor needs to be cut. I could do this the 'old fashioned' way, but it's a good exercise for me using VW's to pre-determine the point. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted March 24, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 24, 2004 You can use the stair object to make an "L" shaped landing by experimenting with the Offset 1 and Offset 2 parameters. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted March 25, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 25, 2004 I'm not sure about the inside corner business, as a stair is an object and can be placed anywhere. What is the floor-to-floor distance? Have you considered the rise/run ratio you want to use? It sounds like the configuration you want to use is a "landing right". Quote Link to comment
