Stairmaker breakline location

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 14:52:21 GMT

Stair maker is doing my head in. I sure when I get it it will be simple but...................I have read about every variable in the stairmaker chart and ....

*******All I want to do is change the breakline location. *******

I found another post and it says to do this: In the preview window ( the one in which you create the stair ) put the mouse pointer on the "cutting line" and there you should be able to move it.

Well I went the ground floor plan (I assume I created it there) and selected the stairs,
I made sure grouping was off incase that mattered.
I even made sure I had selected the STAIR tool in the tool box.

But only one pink (hot) point is available to move the text!!!!!! The rest are black

All other points just move the whole stairs - I must be missing something earth-shatteringly basic

There's your clue.
It is adjustable in the stair settings dialogue - not the actual stair on the plan.

In the dialog box, you can interact with the preview picture. Such as in the railing tab, if you select one side or one segment to modify, you can change which one you are specifically working on by clicking on the pic to move the red highlight around.

Same with the breakline. You can move it around in the preview picture.
