Stairs visible in both stories

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello!
I'm just having this little problem. I inserted stairs in my house, from ground floor to upper story. Everything ok- but I need them to be visible in both - ground plan and 1st story plan. For now, I can only see them in ground floor plan. How do I do that?
Thanks

Koviac:

Simple solution: in the Stair's Settings dialog box: Floor Plan and Section > Floor Plan Display > Show on Stories. Or, depending on the library part Parameters look for Story Sensitive or similar.

Hi,

Is there a way to make the stair outline not show on the hidden portion?

For example, I've tried the above Stair Settings to hide the stairs above the Break Mark on the Main Level. The treads (goings?) are successfully hidden, as is the walking line and all other elements. But the outline of the stairs still shows where everything else is hidden...

I've tried changing "Floor Plan Display > Grid and Structure > Hidden Part > Grid Contour Line Type & Pen" settings to no avail.

Try the 'Floor Plan Display'.

There you can set how the stair is shown on each storey.
