I find the elevator object interesting, the option to make the elevator "read" the story height is great BUT...this option causes problem too, if i want to have a different height for a special level (not the same of the story), the object doesn't allow anything other than the story height, the "edit story" button doesn't even seem to work (the story height still greyed)...
am i missing something ?
thanks in advance

This is just one of the problems with Stairmaker stairs which leads to people not bothering with it - they model stair in 3D on hidden layer and then do the 2D symbol manually.

the only flexible solution as mentioned in an earlier post; is to have the elevator object from the 9th edition of AchiCAD library....the new one is usless in my case (even though it gives more options especially for 2d ) ...
...GS Please fix it .
to be continued

In my project I have two separate buildings, with different heights. I need elevators in both buildings and seems it it not possible to use the elevator "outside" the defined stories.
Anybody has managed to solve this?
Thank you!!

The general idea is to make use of hotlinked MOD files
to bring in a "building" with different story heights
than the the building you are working on. Of
course the MOD file can be a partial building or
even just an elevator.

Search with "multiple building story heights".

For the other building just turn off the walls in the elevator object and build the shaft walls with the wall tool.

Shouldn't be as hard to implement...
