spiral stairs railing

Loren Green — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 15:07:53 GMT

When placing a spiral stair you cant go more than 360 degrees with one stair. You have to do 2. How do I get the handrail to attach to the second set of stairs so the balusters and inner posts stop at the treads?

I am not sure as I rarely do spiral stairs and even less rarely stacked ones.

Railing can be associative, it seems yours is not associated to the upper flight.

Make sure that 'associative' setting is on and then click on the lower end of the stair reference line (baseline) of the lower stair flight and then the upper end of the reference line of the upper flight, then along your landing if you want to continue it.

Does that work?

If not, you might have to click the lower end of the lower stair reference line, then the upper end of the lower stair ref line (that should be the same as the lower end of the upper stair), then the upper end of the upper stair.

You may also be able to fix it by dragging the railing nodes away from the upper stair and then dragging them back so they associate to the stair ref line.

Hello, I know it's an old post, but I think the only way is the split the railing too. the second stairs has its own associative railing, and you need to make sure the 2 railings meet.
