Have a look at which Model View Option you have selected. You can control the visibility of the various elements of stairs (and other construction elements) in Model View Options. It should be location under the ‘Document’ menu or using the Quick Options bar at the bottom of the main window.

This is for Archicad 26, I’m not sure which version you are using but it should be relatively the same.

I'm using Archicad 25.In Model View Option, Stair 3D and Section is set on Full when i set it to Schematic the treads appear in the section but in 3D it looks strange.

Your 3D window and section window will likely have difference Model View Options associated with them. Make sure they’re both set to full and make sure the tick box options for treads are turned on.

Everything seems to be fine but the treads are still not showing 😕

It’s not a scale sensitivity issue is it? I’ll have to open Archicad and have a look.

Could it be renovation filters?

I always blame them for everything!

 

Your treads can have a different renovation status to the rest of the stair.

Lenovo Thinkpad - i7-1270P 2.20 GHz, 32GB RAM, Nvidia T550, Windows 11

I've tried different scales but it stays the same..

I've changed the renovation status of the stair nothing happened, i didn't know that the treads have different renovation status, how can i change only the renovation status of the treads ?
