How to show multiple stairs in the same floor plan position.

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 14:37:42 GMT

Dear Forum Member & Moderator,
I need advice & suggestion regarding multiple stairs in the same floor plan.
I am working with 2 stairs. One is going Upward & another is going downward. (see Fig -1 ) . I need to show both stairs clearly on the same floor plan. Currently, 1st Stair is overlapping 2nd one. As a result, information related to floor level is not readable anymore.

1st stair is going upward to reach another floor and 2nd Stair is going downward (3') towards a Storage room.
I want to show the 1st stair up to the storage room (I mean both visible & hidden part)
Here is the pln file of my model

Your longer Stair, the one that goes upward, needs to have one of its settings changed.
The Layout of the Stair needs to be changed from "With Break Mark: All Visible" to "With Break Mark: Visible - Hidden". That way you can define line types and Pens for both the Visible (below the Break Mark) and Hidden (above Break Mark) portions of the Stair's Floor Plan Symbol, and the dashed line type set for the Hidden portion will take effect:

Dear Laszlo Nagy
I got a result using ur method. Thanks for ur support. But my requirement is different. The stair below is still not readable because of the dotted stair line from the stair above. (See Fig 1) . I need to hide/off the stair above after landing. Nor It will be really confusing for the mason/ contractor. (See Fig 2)

Use the "Below Breakline: Visible" option?

Avi,

Could you draw it with lines exactly how you want the Floor Plan representation to look, and post it as a screenshot?
Should there be a Break Line?
Should the portion above the Break Line be displayed using dashed lines up to the Landing, then, nothing?
Or, should the portion up to the Landing be displayed using solid lines, then, nothing?

So a drawing would be the best.
