Hi. I tried that with the default wall heaight but it didn't work. there are probably a lot of issues with the plan, but I will try to tackle them one by one. Otherwise I get too mixed up.

Thanks Chopsaw. I will try that now.

Sorry I didn't post the plan before. I was having trouble with it last night - my time, and it was very late down here and I couldn't get it to upload. Montview.zip

Okay Chopsaw. I'll give it a go.

Okay. I can't post the plan. I get a message saying it is over 25 mb.

Hello. Does anyone know how I can solve the problem of the wall going through the roof? Inside,The wall doesn't meet the ceiling properly either. The room structure is set to default. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks Guys.

Thanks so much. I shall go and take a gander at them.

Yes it sure is. I just love it. What do you call the style of that house? there is nothing like it that I know of in Australia. Cheers.

Ha Ha! Might as well be. Now you've got me singing it.

There is a lovely house in the Knowledge Base that I've always admired about how to create a walk out basement. Is it a chief Architect Sample or something else? Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the plan or something like it? Every time I look at it I go "Ah!" Cheers and thanks Coralie

Thanks Chiefuserthomasw for the tip mate.

OMG!!!!!! That's it!!! I had a complete brain fart and forgot that. Thanks so much Chopsaw!!!!!m What a dipstick I am.

Hi. I've got a weird thing happening with my manual dimensions of late. I used to be able to select the dimension and adjust the measurement length in a room. Now when I select a dimension I get the Dimension Line specification Box instead of the measurement I want to adjust. Does anyone know how I can go back to being able to being able to adjust the measurement? Thanks.

Hi Curt. I have got X8 at the moment. I will have a look at the break stairs tool. I didn't know about it. thanks.

No worries Yusuf. I'm still working on the stairs and have achieved a lot since then. It just takes me a while. When I get stuck again, I'll post about it on here to avoid confusion. Cheers and thanks Coralie

Excuse me Yusuf, I'm really sorry you think I didn't thank you but I did thank you for your help - Here it is Jan 27: I posted that after you helped me to thank you for your help and to let you know I achieved the alignment of the stairs and got it up to the 3rd floor. so yes, thank you again. I asked a further question and didn't hear from you further for about a week, about how to get rid of the curved platform that formed when I created the stairwell, so I thought you were busy or away and unable to help me. So I continued trying to figure out a way through the problem on my own. I couldn't resolve it so I thought I would ask about it again as my post was old and I thought I should maybe ask again in case someone else could help me because I hadn't heard from you. You have never disappointed me Yusuf, I just thought you were busy and my post was lost in a sea of others. So thanks again. Cheers and thanks Coralie

OMG Rich. Stairs are just about as bad as roofs. Now my problem is that I couldn't get the platform to work properly and don't know how to get the stairs to meet the floor without a landing, so I got rid of the hole in platform and made it open below. Now the stairs on the 2nd floor keep falling to the bottom in spite of my setting the bottom height the same as the landing on the 2nd floor. Oh what to do now? I wish they just made stairs that you could just click on the end and keep dragging up until it reached the top floor. Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'll keep at it. There must be a way. Cheers Coralie

I went and had a look at some of David Michael's videos and got the inspiration for using the hole in platform tool. I'm not 100% sure of how I achieved this - a combination of beginners luck and some tips I got from David Michael and the Chief Knowledge base I guess. Thanks guys. As you can see in the pic, I've made a separate set of curved stairs that have the hole through the middle. The set of stairs adjoined to the building have the stairwell that covers the hole. But now that I have finally achieved the stairs with the hole through the middle, I'm not sure how to put a break in the stairs to each floor where I want to alight. Is there a break stairs tool as there is for break wall or break line? I'm still kind of wondering how to put a landing at each floor without covering up the hole again too?

Thanks Dave. I'm a member. I've found your site along with all your symbols and textures a fantastic help. Cheers Coralie

Hello, I've made a plan for a tower with a curved staircase but I don't know how to make a stairwell with a hole or a void throughout the middle of all floors from top to bottom. The link shows a house with a curved stairwell that follows the wall with the void I'm talking about. I've also attached a copy of a pic of the stairs I currently have in my plan showing the curved railing over the stairwell and a copy of my plan. Cheers and thanks.

Hi Yusuf. I think I did it. Thanks. What I'm wondering is how to get rid of the curved platform in the middle so there is a void through the centre from top to bottom. http://www.houzz.com/photos/2298104/Polo-Club-Custom-Home-mediterranean-staircase-denver Tower copy.plan hmm... I don't know how to insert a jpeg with the new format. Sorry. Hope the pic helps.

Thanks Yusuf. I'll give it a go with your video now. Thanks for that. I'll let you know how I go.

I'm also interested in how you fit the stairs to a curved wall accurately. Thanks.

That's great Yusuf. How did you do it?

Hi. I'm trying to create curved stairs for a tower from the basement to the 2nd floor. I've been looking through chief for some instruction on how to do this eg. Fit the stairs properly to the tower, and how to get it to go all the way up. I haven't found anything yet. I wasn't sure about using the spiral stair case as I want the stairs to follow the wall of the tower with a regular handrail and no pole up the middle. If anyone has any tips or can point me in the right direction to a guide on how to create these stairs, I would appreciate it. Cheers Coralie New French Country.plan
