You are using the 'complete stairs" not making one using stairmaker. It is coded to show fill 65 which is the Vapor Barrier + Insulation fill. Change the fill in the 2d code:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!! *** Stories down the story, where the object is placed on !!!!
IF GLOB_CH_STORY_DIST < -EPS then
rail=`None`
numa=0
tx=0
walkingDirUPDN=`None`
brk=0
walkl=0
solid_line = dash_line
temp_line = dash_line
gs_cont_pen=gs_DashLinePen
SET LINE_TYPE dash_line
gs_fill_type=65
gs_back_pen=0
ns=0
to one you prefer or make a stair using stairmaker. You can look up in the attribute manager to see what the number of the fill is you want such as 16 (Air Space). Don't forget to SAVE AS the stair object with a new name and place it in your office and/or project library.

Thanks for the reply. The problem is that I don't want a fill at all, I want to display the stair. If there was a way I could set the stair's home story as subterranean, and set the view settings to "two stories above" I'd be fine. Or something in the GDL script that lets you pick which stories it is shown on instead of just "one story up" etc. The stair I just made in stairmaker doesn't seem to have that option either. Any ideas? Thanks

Under parameters you can turn off STORY SENSITIVE. Will this achieve what you want? It will look the same on all 3 stories.

1. You could also try setting the following pens to 91 (masking pen).
2D symbol Type>Invisible Structures Line (dashed perimeter line the story below).
2d Symbol Type>Background Fill Type>Fill Pen :this will mask out the pattern lines of the fill on the story below.
These pens will also affect display on the placed story and the story above is you have chosen a 2D symbol that includes dashed lines.
2. The stairmaker stair: if you turn off story sensitive you could place the appropriate type of masking fill on each story.
3. Set the stair to show on all stories trun off its stair layer on stories which you don't want it to show assuming
4. break the one stair into two different ones.
Someone else here might know how to amend the script below so it shows the stair rather than this fill.
5. IF GLOB_CH_STORY_DIST < -EPS then
rail=`None`
numa=0
tx=0
walkingDirUPDN=`None`
brk=0
walkl=0
solid_line = dash_line
temp_line = dash_line
gs_cont_pen=gs_DashLinePen
SET LINE_TYPE dash_line
gs_fill_type=65
gs_back_pen=0
ns=0
ENDIF

Should our office pay a million bucks to upgrade to AC12?
