Stair Custom Shape Structure not only treads

Deviz — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 02:59:25 GMT

Hello community,

I have a stair here which seems to be pushing some boundaries. I have created a custom shape for it and realized in 3D that the structure did not change. Only the treads did. See the screenshot below. I'm hoping this can be done and I'm doing something wrong.

Operating system used: Windows 11 Pro

The stair tool only allows you to change the sides of the structure, you cannot change the Riser side or rear of the structure... I do not recall hearing about any changes. Unless you are sectioning through there, you could just curve your Riser to cover up the void.

@Deviz,

To add to what @Lingwisyer wrote:

What you could do is model those parts on the Stair Structure that need to be added, and if you use the same Building Material and model correctly, they will merge nicely in display in the 3D Viewpoint.

If you need to subtract some parts from it, you could model those as well, and use SEO to subtract them from the Stair Structure. Then you should move those "subtraction bodies" onto a hidden layer.

Kind of a long and convoluted workaround, but I think it can achieve the desired result.

Thank you guys. Much appriciated your input.
What I ended up doing at this point was to take the structure off entirely and increase the height of the tread to match the height of the step.
It will look funny in the section, but for now does the trick, fast, and looks good in 3D... meanwhile that we wait for new stair enhancements.
Ciao! 🙂
