JamesHennessy Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Does anybody know if there is a way to create a staircase that is enclosed by walls and open underneath. I am using Chief architect X10 The staircase goes over a garage, so I don't want to have to put a wall all the way down and block cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgardner Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 There have been a lot of these same questions for the stairs and there are multiple ways. One being what Erik mentioned but some other ways as well. Do a search as I believe there was a good video dome on one of them by @Alaskan_Son on one of them.

Just be careful going down this road, because there are a number of notable issues that arise when you do it WITHOUT a wall too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't edited, included some unnecessary steps for that particular scenario, and I skipped over perfecting some things I otherwise would have taken a moment to deal with, but I think it gets the general idea across.

sfo1ckh Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Can this be done using Home Design 2020 which does not have CAD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
