Staircase

[Blue]

I have adjusted a stair to how it is in real life - but I should probably adjust the length of the sides before I adjusted the steps.

Are there now any way I can set the sides correct now, without changing the steps?

Hi Blue

Are you splitting the stair in different pieces?

I think the problem is coming from this. Is better to draw as a unique stair.

Thanks for your answer, yes, I did it in pieces, I could not figure out the mid-part when I did it in one piece. But I will try again. Still, I would like to be able to adjust the sides...This is maybe not a "correct" stair from an archicad-point of view - but I would like it to look like the original, since that is what this project is dealing with. I have now made the sides from morphs, maybe at the end that is the best solution 🙂 (But since I am not super friends with the stair-tool I thought of it as an opportunity to learn more about it 🙂

Hi

Yes I understand stair tool is really a difficult topic.
I suggest you to have a look to this video. It's better if you draw it as a unique stair then you can control the side directly in stair command.

Turning type option can help you to have the shape that you need.

Otherwise if you are happy with the stair that you have right now you can think to create the side with a beam made with complex profile. It's not the best method 🙂 but it's good if you need just to achieve the design.

Thanks a lot, I´ve saved the video in my playlist and will take a more close look at it, looked really step-by-step and explaining.

If I could model the stair without the sides, cause that was part of the problem, getting the stair correct in order of the shape of the steps and the mid-repo.

I don´t mind making the sides in morphs or as you propose, complex profile, if I could get the steps correctly. 

Thanks again 🙂
