Is it possible to create stairs like this in Archicad 25?

Not with the stairmaker-tool, but simply manually with other tools like slabs or morph - not much effort.

Yes you can. A bit of elbow grease and time will do. Just create a stair that fits and kind of looks the part and then manually edit each tread and rise to optimize.

The stair tool is enough. You can edit threads, risers and the structure also.

Doing so, you will have to pay attention not to change the measures of the line-of-going - the measures of steps and risers on the position in ths going line must not be alterd. But yes - its possible.

 Thank you all for your responses!! I'm new to Archicad and Stair Tool drove me nuts at first. I managed to draw stairs with Morph Tool this time around and will add the line-of-going and measures later on when I translate it to dwg, but will try again to do it with Stair Tool too. skale1.JPGskale2.JPG

You have to get used to it, but it's a powerful tool. One of the advantages is the integrated floor plan display. In fact, everything you've done with the morph-tool you could have done in the stair-tool. The tool allows the use of morphs for your treads 🙂
