Hi!
I am trying to create a spiral staircase that ends on the same line as it begins (so a full 360° circle).
However, even though my Archicad draws the preview successfully, it doesn't create any geometry.
Is there no way of doing this as one object? Does Archicad read the same start and end vertex as overlapping?
Thanks for any answers!

You'll probably need to fake it, being 359,99°.

it's crazy to me that architecture should suffer from a software limitation

There are some library objects for spiral stairs..

Yeah, this has always been a limitation: the stair tool geometry simply cannot overlap itself in plan. That is just how it was designed. 😕
But Architecture doesn't need to suffer for it, only the Architect. Here is how to do it (you practically have to use 2 stairs):

But like @runxel suggested, I would also just make it 359.99 degrees. You will not see the difference really.
