I'd like to be more flexible with my tread and riser hight as I'm drawing an existing building that does not have standard measurements. The stair tool seems to have fixed measurements when it comes to tread and rise and I'm wondering if I can alter this?</T></DIV> Thu, 25 May 2023 15:32:24 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Altering-tread-and-riser-hight-in-ArchiCAD-21/m-p/249226#M131762 Anonymous 2023-05-25T15:32:24Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Altering-tread-and-riser-hight-in-ArchiCAD-21/m-p/249227#M131763 If your stairs do not have a consistent riser height, you will not be able to model them using the stair tool as I do not believe it allows it.<BR /> <BR /> If it is the tread depth that is changing, you can go into edit mode and modify each tread individually to match what is required.

I do not recall being able to do this in 21, or it might only be available in 3d. Anyway, no rules with edit mode then.
