Please how can I make a spiral with diameter of less than 1 meter such as 700mm? I can do it only around 1 meter or bigger!

Thanks

No problems here with a standard spiral in ArchiCad 21.
Made a small video of it.

I was able to make a spiral railing using the Railing tool. I placed a number of nodes with decreasing radii. I think it would be easier to place the newel separately rather than trying to get its location based on the spiral's reference line. The smallest radius in my example is 1".
