Stairs - Reversal of Fortune

[lagodue]

Stairs and their display options work nicely in plan from the lower level of the stairs. If I go up one story, I would like this same stair to show up with direction of travel arrow and riser lines reversed. Is this possible? or does this go to Wish List?

Finally, a voice of reason! Now, when will we have the stair parameter to do this? Hey G'soft, are you listening? There are at least two of us who want this!

as far as i recall s2art wasn't against the idea of letting you "do it wrong". simply reverse the direction of the arrow in the GDL script when the story to be displayed is above the home story i guess. i'm a bit of a GDL amateur, but i'm sure there's a few people on here that could do the job in a matter of minutes . . .

lagodue,

If I'm following you correctly, the GS stairs already do what you're trying to do. I have a stair placed on the first floor with an arrow pointing up. If I go to the second floor, the note says DN and is pointing in the down direction. Could it have something to do with "arrow UP/DOWN" parameter? (Should be ON)

I don't get the risers reversing thing you want, though. They should show in the same spot regardless of which floor you view them from.

I think the convention is:

US/Canada - the arrows point in the direction of travel from the floor you're on. And you need to note 'up' & 'down'

International - the arrow always points you in the upwards direction and there is no need to note anything. I've ditched my NA conventions in favour of this simple convention.

Anyway, they're both correct so pick your poison!

Cheers
