Help needed ASAP

[amaliya]

Can you help me with this? I want to put only two steps down to living room, but open below function doesn't help me move the stairs which are only like 15" high without making a whole and not showing the floor. And do I lower the stairs without having a whole on the floor?

Post plan ....post plan...please. Without posting plan it is waste of time by guessing.

 

Any way, if all fails to work, you can set the stair top/bottom heights manually through the stair dbx.

Your stepped down area should be on the same floor as the rest of it.  You would then set it up as a separate room with the floor level (under the structure tab) set to your desired drop.

sort of worked but not completely

[amaliya]

how do I get the stairs up?

Looks like the deck needs to be lowered to the level of this room or a little more.

 

Have a great week,Ken

 

[amaliya]

I did that already

I need to put the stairs between two load baring walls, how do I do that?

 

[rlackore]

If I understand correctly, one solution is to "extend" the definition of the lower room into the space between the two load-bearing walls, then slide the stairs into that space:

[amaliya]

Yes, thank you!

 

[amaliya]

how do you build this on wheels?

I would look for an appropriate flat bed trailer symbol and then just build on top with chief if you want a good 3D illustration.

 

Start with the 3D warehouse but I think you already know that. 

 

Chief has one that might work but it is single axle.

 

Looks like this one might work ok : https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/u11c8d532-14d7-4ed8-be66-555a80528656/FLAT-BED-TRAILER

Select one end of the stairs and drag it until there is only a single tread; or, select the stairs, open the Stair Specification dialog box, and adjust the number of treads.

[amaliya]

I already did that, but it still doesn't look right and how do you get those moldings around it?

 

 

[rlackore]

You need to be more clear. What doesn't look right? Where do you want moldings? It would help a lot if you could provide a sketch, or mark-up your picture to show us what you're trying to achieve.

[Dermot]

You can control the number of treads/risers in the stair specification dialog.  If it's set to be automatic, then the program will calculate how many are needed for the given height based on the length you have drawn.  If you have locked the number of treads, then you will get the same number of steps regardless of the length or height.  I can't tell exactly what is going on with your stair without looking at your plan.

 

Room moldings will pretty much ignore stairs.  If you need to show moldings along a stairs or landings, you will probably have to draw them yourself using the molding polyline tools.  You can also turn on the stair stringer/trim against the wall and that may give you the look you want.

 

I have no idea what is going on with your room moldings between the two rooms.  If you need help with that, you probably need to post your plan.  That would probably be better in a separate thread though since it looks like it has nothing to do with your stair issues.

 

I would encourage you to make new threads whenever you have questions that are not related to the original topic.  For example, the trailer question really doesn't have anything to do with your questions about stairs.  It's also a good idea to make sure the title of your thread title describes the problem as clearly as you can.  If someone in the future is looking for help on stairs, there is a good chance they won't look at this thread.

I just figured out the issue of the molding between the rooms is because it's a actually a mirror.  Sorry about the confusion.
