Is there a way to control the outside stringer width? What Chief is calling a "stringer" is really a "skirt" in this instance - so I never thought that could control what it does. Although...there is no option for the landing to have a "stringer/skirt", but I suppose a poly-solid would work fine.
-
Its like the success of their approaches on otherwise difficult modeling aspects (roofs, cabinets, etc) to make those operations easy caused them to make otherwise easy operations hard.
-
I will do that, but honestly does it seem reasonable that such a basic function doesn't work if: 1. A poly isn't closed, and 2. Only if the poly is completely isolated....? Moving poly points shouldn't be reliant upon those 2 things - we are talking basic function here.
-
The serious downside to the wall method is the rail no longer has edit-ability, and it doesn't connect to other rails.
-
I guess I didn't realize the tool considered it such an extreme difference. I may have said closed poly in vid - but I see now if its closed it works. Although..i dont see why it would matter. Shouldn't that tool work regardless?
-
Sorry...i just can't get it to work
-
That is the stairs I posted above. I saw your vid on that knee-wall condition but thought a ramp would be more controllable and you don't have to then have the railing converted into a symbol. Therefore the railing can connect to other rails.
-
I still can't figure this out.
-
Edit area isn't working for me - not sure why. I select the poly, and then "edit area", then "lasso" my area and move - but nothing happens.
-
Is there a way in Chief to extend a group of poly "points" or corners all at once? Here is a vid to explain.
-
Another question - why isn't my "tread" width working out to be the same even though they are set the same? bug?
-
I would kiss you if you were standing in front of me.
-
Yeah, I just dont see any way to make the handrail centered. Too bad, this would have been a very nice and controllable solution. Scott had a video for the condition, but the ramp would have been all too cool. This type of knee-wall is probably the most common type of spec-home grade method for that condition.
-
oh, that is a problem where if I get the edge of the "straight" ramp section too close to the edge of the landing it breaks my stairs for some reason. Is there a way to lock the stairs?... although if I can't fix #1 then this won't work and I suppose doesn't matter.
-
If you notice the handrail, balusters, etc aren't aligned to the center of the "ramp" - they are off to 1 side. This is due to the fact the ramp wants to place 2 railings on each side but I only want 1.
-
I am so close on getting the ramp too to work perfectly for my stair knee-wall. I would much rather use this method over trying to manipulate a raked wall. However, I have a couple obstacles can't solve. 1. I want only 1 handrail, so when I turn off a side of the rail, the balusters, newels aren't aligned to the center of the "ramp" (aka wall). 2. When i go to align the 2 segments of my "ramp" (raked following stairs and straight section at landing) my stairs disconnect from the landing. Is the ramp trying to connect to the landing??...can I stop that? Thanks! stairs.plan

Will do - thanks Michael. This is something that needs to be fixed ASAP IMO.
-
Since this thread already deals with the subject - I really like the slab with footing tool - but wish we could edit the profile of the footing. Has this ever been asked for?
-
You guys have me curious though how those act as the roof as well? I'll play around with it....
-
Yep, the walls keeps me from blocking. Your idea about the reflect seemed to work for me in this instance, since I was trying to go 180 deg. However, I have other objects for this plan I need to rotate just 90 degree and reflect doesn't work.
-
Even when I explode it doesn't work. You're saying on your system it worked?...now I am really perplexed. What could be diff about my system?..i downloaded the new update yesterday so I am fully current.
-
Its just kinda crazy I can't figure this out. For some reason I can't simply rotate a section of objects - a fireplace detail i want to use in other plans. I'm just so tired of running into this kind of thing over and over and over and over again. Does it ever end? inept.plan

Are you asking how you construct such a thing, or how to model in CA? If its just model in CA could you provide more information (maybe a proposed concept section?)

icloud, like similar "cloud" (i.e. networked drive) should show up locally (your computer) as a hard drive you can save files in. I use Dropbox which is nearly the same thing. All this really does is allow you (or your team) access to a file but it does nothing for multiple people working on the same file.
-
Thanks!...got it. Many different areas to change default options, but I suppose once you know you know.
