Thank you very much Scott. Really glad to share ideas with you great guys.

Is it some thing like this? I am afraid to state the obvious. Bye the way, you remind me about a joke, two guys sitting in a bus side by side, one asked the other "wa.....waaa....what ..t....t..time is it rrrright now" the other guy kept silent. Again the guy repeated questioning, asked several times and the guy is not talking at all. So some one else following the two, answered him "10:30". After one minute the silent guy getting close to the other whispered, saying "mmm.....mm..my ffffffriend I was af...fff...afraid you woulddd tttakkke it I wassss... making fun of youuuu." So obviously both had the same tongue problem, like you and me( English is my 99th language) no worries. Just say what you want, some one will understand and interpret to others, like they do it for me some times.

This was an other difficult assignment and still remains to be so, until some one comes up with a true solution for all scenarios. But for simple roofs like this, I have run through my workflow department and got satisfactory result. grass roof.plan

Have you tried using two straight stairs and one curved. Maintain the gap you want through out and apply winders in the stair dbx, you should be able to get it done this way.

really appreciate your assumed workflow to help the op achieve what he wanted, I tried your method and couldn't figure out exactly, but any way thanks for the heads. Frankly speaking it is your way that led me to figure out a bit different work flow. Just an open railing combined with glass shower wall. Though not sure this is the exact enquiry of the op.Hey op, is it some thing like this? Does that help. Not using X7 actually, one step down.

Bump, this is a good example of "programmed workflows" some times lead us to a result beyond the limits of the codes.

It looks interesting, RC frame. It isn't clear the help you need, any way here is start up of your model from the fly. Feel free to clearly tell your need.

At this point you have to make your auto height of the stair off, and you can replace the landing next to the upper stair by a psolid. So you can edit that stair independently. Hope that helps, but may not be the only solution as others will post their takes on the issue.

Mark, yes exactly. Before I saw you already posted, I was doing the same idea. Nice one full barrel house.2.plan

Thanks johnny In the transform replicate tool you can do do it but for multiple copying you can't maintain equidistant polygons with broken segment proportioned. The other option "multiple copy tool "you can get a number of concentrically spaced polygons but the breaks will not proportion. So I got a some sort of answer to polygons of equal sides, just block it and use multiple copy tool holding C. And select all at one marque then click unblock. Again for rectangles you can trick it by blocking it enclosed by square. You get some interesting results if keep playing with it.

Sorry Glenn, actually wasn't expecting this response. I already mentioned the imperfection of the arithmetics. I was talking about the possibility and also forwarding you and other advanced users to think of any idea to get more control over this. But I am not advising all users to this method because I have already defined an easier workflow using the normal stair tools. Hopefully I will have the chance to get in to it after a while. But look at this plan, as you see the brown control and the actual riser heights. Shoot a cad detail and check the tolerance....but obviously a potential area of chief to research on. stair follow terain reser controll.plan

Draw streight line and break it in to 4 equal segments. Then resize it using concentric mode. Here the problem is, I need to get the resized line segments to increase/decrease proportionally. Am i missing this? Or the software.

Yes sir. Here it is. It is not perfect. But i am sure with normal stair tool it will be.stair follow terain main risers the same.plan

Glenn you are right and I couldn't realize when I found it could be done. A little thought of some workflow in chief can make us accomplish the task. Here is it! Hopefully OK. Shall I attach the plan or wait if some needs to tweak.Further more, I am thinking that it is very easy to accomplish it with normal stair, it will for sure. I will try it tomorrow.

Hi, Dennis have you seen this video? I posted some time ago in similar thread.hope it helps. https://youtu.be/Mbonpxn_ULs

Thanks Scott and perry. It is railing with step terrain option, it is a pannel with width and height of railing set OOB sir. Really it works well, because the secret lies on the newel spacing and railing height to get that look. Thanks again guys Here is the plan to exammine further. stair follow terrain.plan

Like this! OOB settings of chief....blessings.Am i right first?

Here is an other way of niche insert in walls, in chief workflow is an other important factor to effectively use the tools provided so far. Last time we have seen two walls forced on top of an other wall, that process is avoided by using copy to clip board. Steps 1 place the wall 2 copy to clipboard 3 apply material region on wall 4 paste hold position and insert the niche(made from window) as explained last time. For shower niches with no casing or framing use pass thru window with no casing no frame etc..... Here is a video on this concept. https://youtu.be/GKlhRCW6Y5A

BUT UNTILL THEY ADD IT, ADOPTING THE BEST WORKFLOWS ARE MUCH IMPORTANT FOR GOOD PERFORMANCE, I HAVE AVOIDED THAT STEP "FORCING THE TWO WALLS" BY SIMPLY JUST A SINGLE WALL AND CLIPBOARD POWER. HERE IS A VIDEO. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW YOU SUGGESTED.JUST A PROCEDURE AND ALL IS WELL.

Thanks Justin. Chief architect should be compensating for the time.......a lot of impossibles would continue to become possible one after an other. Not kidding.

Justin, very nice one, though I think this method was posted by some one earlier, but for sure you didn't see that vid and done it too by your self, much appreciated. But I think you missed this thread of mine. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/5855-nitche-in-walls-chiefarchitect-tip-by-yusuf/

Can you please make it some more clear, may be sketches of what you need. I am thinking I got the concept not fully. But probably alright to go with chief.

Draw a cad line to guide your direction of move and use point to point move by using the ends a of the line as a base point. The transform replicate object may be also helpfull to achieve what you asked, but holding CRL and moving ortho freely would be nice. I don't know if that exactly exists.

Actually, I never did such things before in chief. My take on the issue using flat regions cut/fill in the terrain, so does that help? I don't know, and I didn't care about dims. just a taste plan, if it helps.

Yes sir, I got it. You didn't say that.
