decorators3 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Hi I am creating a two apartment home and am trying to create exterior covered stairs on the side of the house . I created an exterior room on the first level and opted for no ceiling and no roof but when the camera went into the first floor it still showed a ceiling. Should I put hole in ceiling platform to allow stairs to go to the second floor Levina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkwest Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Would using a deck for the landing and deck stairs work? If you want your stairs covered, make the stairwell room 2 story height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Go to the second floor and make that room "Open Below". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtldesigns Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I had a project that had an exterior stairs as well. I did not create the stairs it in a room however. I had a slab (porch) on main level, then a deck on the second. I connected the stairs to these two levels. No room creation was involved. I had an issue of the stairs not showing on the second floor (because I did not use a room definition of "opened below). So what I did, per a suggestion on this forum, was to create another Reference Floor Display set, turned everything off except the stair layer (and changed to black) plus added a couple cad lines to clean up, and showed that on my second level plan view. See attached. This was in Chief Premier X10, I don't know much about HDP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
