creating a custom stair

[Anonymous]

Hello.
I would like to create the following custom stair, but it doesn't work. The fill I drew has a polyline contour and a polyline is the line of travel also.
it says: Cannot create stair with current parameters.
What could I do?
Thank you.

I also have a problem with a custom staircase i m trying to create. Is there an easy way to draw this stair? Archicad 18 is not letting me create this.

If you drew an outline from 'Lines' and then use the 'Fill' tool, make sure that you delete those original lines before you select everything to create your stair, otherwise ArchiCad will assume those other lines are part of your path of travel and the warning message will appear.

...and of course when all else fails, go back to what you should have done the fist time and just model itwith Composites, Complex Profiles, etc...

yep......I still find that is most often the best way...!!

Complex Profiles, in particular, are under rated and under utilised by many people.

Gareth,
What error message did Archicad give you?
When I did a custom stair similar to yours, I got an error message which instructed me to adjust the nose depth after which I was able to create the stair.

This only happens if you were to leave any lines used as guidelines to place a fill afterwards....just need to remember to remove them.

However, I think maybe your post might be confusing me with someone else ?!

No error, you posted a shot of a custom stair you said archicad couldn't make.
