Stair Tool Editing - Customize risers position

kst — Mon, 05 Feb 2024 23:33:24 GMT

Hello, I would like to modify the following stair's risers based on the redlined notes. For some reason although I was able to add winders in the corners I cannot get rid of steps 11-15 in the middle.

Any ideas how to solve that?

Thank you in advance!

Try a right click on the edge of the centre flight.

Choose the option in the pet palette to 'Select Segment Type' (top right button) and change the flight to a landing.

That might work.

If not then model the stair by placing the first flight, then switch to winder in the pet palette, then landing then winder and finally the final flight.

Barry.

It might help to watch the stair videos (and the others too) by James. The concepts are explained simply and effectively.

@Barry Kelly @vistasp Thank you for your input. I really appreciate it.

Although I have experimented a lot with the pet palette, I cannot manage to have a clean riser-free central landing with winders in the two corners.

The iterations I get are the following:

However what I want to achieve is the following:

If there was a more intuitive way to select certain risers and change their location within the stair path it would be more customizable.
