Stairs with winder up the top?

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 14:41:20 GMT

Hi,
I'm trying to create a staircase with 3 winders up the top. I can't figure out how to do it, I have a post on facebook and got some help there but still cannot get it to work. So excuse the double up.

What version of Archicad are you using?
Stairs totally changed in version 21.
I assume you are using the latest but you should ideally add some info to your profile signature or say which version you are using (operating system is good too).

Try this.

Also there is this ...

But I don't think it is necessary in 22 (haven't checked lately in 21 either).
Just make sure the winder offset is set to zero and that seems to work just fine in22 - no need to reduce the flight width.

I think the zero winder offset is the key.

Thanks Barry,
Yes its Archicad 21, we have so many projects going at the moment, ones being dragged up from years ago that are in older versions, it's getting hard to remember what version I'm in when get home to post.

Thanks I'll check those links

In 21 you may need the trick of slightly reducing the flight width.
Sometimes it worked and other times it didn't without reducing the flight.
I haven't tried it in 21 for a while so not sure if any updates have fixed it.
But it definitely works better in 22 - I have never had any problem there with winders.
