BTW, from a practical standpoint, installation of an actual Window in anything other than a vertical or negatively sloped wall is a waterproofing disaster.  Skylights are designed for such conditions but Windows aren't.  Doors obviously just don't work if they are not installed plumb.

Lew,

"It can't be done!!! Like my drill Sergeant said "the only cant.is cant right and cant left. I believe that the brains at chief cou;d if so motivated. Windows and construction details are up to the designer.

Chief "ARCHITECT"?

you are 100% incorrect. ask chief for the number of architects that use their program, I think you would be surprised at the number. I order for Chief to grow they need to market all fields not just builders.

Roof planes and skylights.

 

Hmmm, interesting workaround

 

if that does work then it should be something CA could program as a new wall type etc

You are absolutely correct Lew. Happy New Year. 

How many of you all feel that we need a circular stair design like other stairs instead of the basic symbol that CHIEF provides.

The symbol, in my mind is sorely lacking. If you agree maybe we can contact CHIEF to add same to X-13. Thanks

Why, at this late date can I draw walls in chief. Only vertical walls auto, time to update chief, please.

This old man keeps forgetting how to resize the cursor where does reside THANKS 

Good Going

I can get close pretty quickly - but probably no banana.

The glass clamps and some other details would take a bit longer - but mostly doable.

It may also be difficult to get the exact newel spacing correct and I had trouble wrapping the treads around the pole.

I have to make the point though that any spiral tool that Chief may develop would never be able to include every custom type of spiral stair - there are just too many variables and options, too many details. 

Great Job

Thanks much. really appreciated

I downloaded the attached DWG but it does not seem to be imported and used HELP. Or does anyone have a symbol they will share?

I asked this question last week without an answer. Why doesn't Chief have a spiral Stair designer similar to the one we have for straight stairs. 

The Lib symbol is totally lacking. I'm at a loss as to why more users aren't unhappy with the present situation. Am I just the crazy old man of the group?

I do use a lot of spiral stairs in y residential design and would very much like to have the ability to design them to my liking. All input by the group will be greatly

appreciated.

Thanks Ron

That would be a great tutorial. Thanks for your thoughts

 

Thanks Glen,

 

I struggled with CA and could not get what you did.  Any chance you can either do a quick video of the steps you took? Or at least a description? Maybe a Zoom call.

I could not get a smooth rail, nor glass.

I've got some banana's 

I had to grab a model off of the sketchup warehouse to do this, but it is limited to the model created.

 

or better yet the brains at Chief acknowledge a gap in their stair tools and give us a spiral stair app. PERIOD!!!!!!

Great, I do not seem to have that kind of time. It burns me up that Chief does colored clothes hangers but can get around to supplying us with the proper tools. Making your own model is great but how easy is it to adapt to change in floor heights and size of stair.

I have a layout with details pertinent to the job at hand. I'm able to upgrade as needed on the project at hand.
