Kite treads

[DanS]

Is there an easy way of making a stair with kite treads. It's a bit of a hastle joining up bits of circular stair to straight ones.

Not sure what a "kite" tread is. I assume that it is the pie shaped tread of a circular or winder stair.

I draw the treads as polys then extrude them to the desired tread thickness and set their delta z at the appropriate height.

Of course extruding is only needed for 3d.

Thanks for your reply,

A kite tread is the kite shaped tread that fits into a corner on a (winder?) stair as it changes direction. I was hoping that there was a way of getting a stair P.I.O. to do it but they only seem to do straight flights with landings or circular stairs. It is a hastle to put bits of circular and straight stair together but building them from separate floors or extrusions seems long winded too.

Cheers

Normally, I just create the 'kite' with a 3d poly or NURBS object and place it as required between the stair objects crrated with the Stair PIO.

Thanks very much, shame the PIO can't do it though.
