Display of Treads/Risers of Stairs to react to Partial Structure Display settings

[Leire Bilbao]

When doing a concrete structural section for example, if you click the option "without finishes" the floors and plasters and other layers hide, but the tread finishes on your stair stay. It should be consistent and behave as a floor finish.

Currently I need to do 2 stairs, one for the concrete and one for the finish, or draw / cover with fills which is bad.

I think it is a pretty important missing feature. We need the stair structure (concrete, steel, etc.) to show in certain views without the stair finish parts.

Still can't believe this is not implemented already.
Stairs are "just" a bunch of GDL objects merged into one tool.

Before this get the attention, you can duplicate the riser and thread objects from library and add this do the 3D description:
IF GLOB_STRUCTURE_DISPLAY <> 0 THEN
END
ENDIF

this way, at least in 3D based views finishes will disappear. Not in 2D though.

Hi Karel, well, unfortunately, we all need both. So we go with the 2 stairs solution.

Cheers,

Hi,

since Archicad 21 where new Stair tool was introduced, this bugged me very much since.

There was once a post here on community but now it is not available anymore so I'm adding here once more.

We should be able to show only structural parts of the model and that includes stairs. Currently, when only load bearing is shown, risers and tread will be visible too a that looks just odd when sending to contractors or showing to the client.

Would it be possible to add a simple 3 lines to the 3D description of the risers and treads?

IF GLOB_STRUCTURE_DISPLAY <> 0 THEN

  END

  ENDIF

This of course would be ideal to set for 2D description but for 3D it is good enough for now.

Since libraries are individual libpacks now, this could be part of the next library update 🙏

We are working on this, to allow stairs to adapt to partial structure display.

Thanks for the wish.
