Stair Edit

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 14:56:12 GMT

Think I found a bug in 12 stair dialog.
Created stair and saved it.
All ok so far.
Then when I select the stair and go back to edit stair, and roll
over the edit stair button, the little pop up says "create stair"(wrong).
If I go ahead and click the edit stair button, it wants me to save the
stair again, even though I had just done that.
Then of course it tells me a stair is already using that name
and if I want to over write it, which of course I go ahead and do
even though I should not have to.
Only then will it let me edit my stair.
Bunk, to say the least.
Anyone else see this behavior?

It's possible that you're seeing this because you've loaded the stair from a (read-only) PLA? What happens if when you open the PLA you allow the library parts to be unpacked into a folder?

I had this problem a bit as well. The only solution that's worked so far is closing down and restarting ArchiCad. It needs a little nudge.....

I have had the same problem. Mine happened when I copied a previous stair, renamed it, opened it and made a few changes etc. then when I went to open it back up again it didn't give me the option to edit the stair just create a stair. I will have to try the restart next time.

I had this problem with the stairs coming from previous ArchiCAD versions. Sometimes, it was not even recognized as a stair, just an object, after editing in 12.

Duly reported, will see ...

hmm...I have seen this behavior ...and noticed that it happens mainly when I copy the stair from a level to another one, try placing it again. mostly it works.

and noticed that it happens mainly when I copy the stair from a level to another one, try placing it again

thanks for the answers, it is probably the case...

i hope that GS will give us a hotfix for this annoying bug ;

... and by the way i've noticed that stairmaker takes more time to create the stair then in the previous versions of Archicad

ok ...i think that i've found a workaround :

instead of opening the selected stair option , i open the object through the file menu and then, it will force the stair editing...

hoping for a fix...
