StairMaker Ramp Error PGON what does it mean?

Anonymous
Not applicable
I know I will get screamed at WHY DO YOU USE StairMaker, yet I keep thinking one day I may figure it out; but until then:
What does this PGON error message mean when I am trying to save the Ramp?

By the way after trying to create this ramp with StairMaker I gave up after 45 min. and created it with Slab and Roofs then input the lengths into StairMaker as a check then the geometry worked!!!
Maybe this method to be used for Stairs/Ramps so we can get the benefit of the railing functions?
Thanks,
Joseph

Is it that no one has encountered this message or no one uses the StairMaker Ramps?

Thanks

I vaguely recall that being a polygon error that usually pops up when you have intersecting tread noses, which happens in the corners. Stretch out the corner space a touch and see if that stops that helpful little error warning from appearing.

Probably not a nosing issue then!

Try spreading out the geometry anyway and let us know how you get on.
