MarkSM Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 !ve got a weird open, 3rd floor balcony thats giving me fits. Ive got it mostly "looking" right, except for the staircase going up to it. Its an uncovered, exterior staircase. I can't get it to show up on the right floor. any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Kbird1 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 The Issue appears to be that you don't have a defined Room on the 2nd floor for the Staircase to start in , I added a Wall under the roof plane on the left to get Wall definition and it is now working..... I didn't finish all the detailing , I fixed a few Walls only....but here is the Plan back......... M. Van Asrdall_MHD.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSM Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Thanks, Mick. I don't why, but the simplest staircases still make me crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Problem , it wasn't the Staircase as such though , since you didn't have a "room" there on the lower balconey, there was no Floor for the staircase to build off so it was confused. Looking into the balcony in 3D I could see under the Roof plane , so I was fairly sure what the issue was, knowing that IRL there would be a wall supporting that Roof Plane , I drew one in and didn't need to do anything special on the staircase except click "make best Fit" once the "room" was made.

glennw Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 You can always control the top and bottom heights of a staircase directly in the dbx without any reference to floor or landing heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh so true. While true , I don't believe this is a good practice , the staircase was not building on the 2nd floor for a reason, ie the Model was not correct, as evidenced by the fact the staircase immediately drew correctly once the "Room" had definition and thus a Floor, which Staircases are programmed to "find" automatically. ( or the Terrain Plane if exterior stairs ). In a Pinch would I / have I used this Tip ? Yes.... but it's not one to use as SOP.... try and fix the underlying cause 1st. M.

Hi Tommy, I know that both you and Glenn being CA Experts would not use this Tip in everyday use , I just didn't want others thinking this was normal procedure. M.
