Stairs & Stories

[Anonymous]

Please Help! I have tried and tried, but can not figure out how to make a stair show on a story level other than it's home story. I am sure there is a (simple) way to do this, but I can't find it.

… Do I have to go in and add in a stair every level? If so, why don't I just put one level as a trace underneath? Right now the stair looks like a regular object on all the other floors (in plan) but it doesn't actually show in 3d. What's up?

Thanks

- Yes, copy/paste as necessary
- trace underneath is not going to show in 3D, nor in section, elevation or details. That is not the purpose of the trace tool
- It doesn't show in 3D because there is only one copy, in one place

- The elevator tool is another object and it behaves differently, learning AC is finding what is different and similar between the different tools.

Sometimes the differences and similarities will make sense, sometimes not but they did make sense at one point in time even if that was 15 years ago. Welcome to the club.

An elevator is a single entity. A stair connects two stories -- if you have more than two stories to connect, you need additional stairs.
