Stair: Treads per Flight

[Lingwisyer]

Hi all,

Was there no way to set the minimum and maximum number of treads / riser per flight?

Not as a setting per flight.
You determine the number of treads as you place the stair.
First click starts the stair and then you see a ghost of the stair - click to get the required number of treads you want in that first flight.
Keep clicking on the number of treads for each flight until you have reached the limit of your stair.

I had one stair keep stretching the landing into the flight and it would not let me reduce the overall length of the stair to reduce the landings length. Got it working by changing the shape of the stair to an arbitrary shape and back. Occasionally had this issue with non-straight, multi-curve stairs. Probably more worthwhile just doing the landings as slabs...

It seems if you want to make the landing stretchable, you must use the pet palette options when placing the stair nodes rather than just clicking as I mentioned before - that sets an automatic landing or winder depending on the settings.

Using the pet palette will create 2 nodes - one each end of the landing.
These nodes can be stretched.
The first will move the front of the landing - affecting the number of treads in the first flight.
The second will stretch the length of the landing but not affect the number of treads.
It can only be stretched within the limit of the stair, but you can repeatedly stretch it as the extent of the stair changes.

Don't forget you can use the pet palette option to adjust the tread from one flight to the other - the landing will remain in the same plan position but will change height.
