Is it possible to hide the stairs numeration and descriptions of the stairs on the floor above

Isaac Newton — Wed, 24 May 2023 11:06:34 GMT

Good time of the day, gentlemen

I'd like to ask you, please, whether it's possible to turn off the display of stairs numeration and description on the floor above. I have the display of the stairs set for all relevant floors in my case. I also have another run of stairs above the previous one. The stairs that lead to the next floor are shorter than the stairs from the floor below. Therefore the numeration and description from the previous stairs shows through the new one, and makes both texts unitelligible

This is what it looks like:

While this is what I need it to look like:

But in the same time I need the stairs that come from the floor below to display the numeration and description, only on the floor below, like this:

Nevertheless, so far I managed only to remove the numeration and description on both floors, and the floor below now looks like this:

Could you please help me to achieve the desired result?

You can control general stair display options via the Model View Options interface.

If you have stairs one on top of the other and you need to display different parts then you need to tweak the stair settings. There are many selectioin options you can set there, maybe reading the Help pages would give you some ideas. Most important are the basic floor plan view settings here:

and here:

For hiding some parts of the below stair you will most likely need to have some fills active for covering anything that is under the stair.

Thank you! But this would hide the numeration and description only on the irrelevant floors. Both below and above floors are considered relevant by ArchiCAD though. Say, for an instance, the stairs that lead from the ground floor to the first floor would be displayed on both ground and first floors if I pick "display on all the relevant floors" option in plan settings:

In fact, in this case, there is no this option that you have suggested of whether to display or not the numeration on the non relevant floors:

There is also no this option if I pick "display on the host floor only and the floor above":

This option only appears when I pick "display on all the relevant floors and one floor above":

But in this case it would simply display the stairs still with numeration on ground and first floor, and in addition on the second floor, but without the numeration

Thank you! But unfortunately as far as I can tell there are no settings there that would allow me to achieve the desired effect. I'll reffer you, if I may, to the answer that I've given to @BrunoH concerning his suggestion. This is the problem that I'm having

Does that mean though, that the only option in this case is to cover the stairs below with the fill in the non BIM way?

Now if I understand well, do you want to achieve something like that ?

I draw the two stairs with different colours and the numberings on the opposite sides for understanding.

To do that you'll have to edit the blue stair symbol on edit mode on my corresponding level 2 and drag his cutting line to the top of the red one.

No, no, not exactly. That's what it looks like in 3D:

So, what I want is that on the first floor I could see only the numbering and the description text of the stairs that connect the frist floor with the second floor, and just the geometery of the stairs that connect the ground floor and the first floor. There shouldn't be any numbering and description text of the stairs that connect the ground floor and the first floor on the first floor, because it overlaps with the numbering and description text of the stairs that connect the first floor and the second floor.

But, in the same time, when I open the ground floor, I want to see the numbering and the description text of the stairs that conect the ground floor to the first floor.

That's the problem here

I think this should be possible with the stair floor plan settings, but you would need to define each stair in a different way. If I may, I also suspect you might have too many steps without a landing on the ground floor. Our national regulation doesn't allow this many. Check yours.
