HCremodel Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I have needed tom place stairs that go through a doorway on multiple occasions, and every time I try it would seem the program glitches and usually breaks the wall or the doorway so you can see the structural materials. The best solution I have found was placing two staircases on either side of the opening, but even that solution isn't perfect. Has anyone found a solution to this?? Am I doing something wrong? I feel like it's pretty common for stairs to go through openings, so it would seem odd to me if chief would not have an option for that.... I attached a picture of what I am encountering. I am using premier x13 beta, but this was also a problem in x12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 This is a nuisance. I am assuming you created the opening via a doorway and not an invisible wall which I think is the correct approach. I think you have built the opening too far into drywall. Try making the opening 1/8” smaller. But not perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quickest "fix" is to just use a P-Solid...and you won't be fighting the jamb of the doorway cutting away the drywall on the wall surface.

I think you can put that doorway in a wall on the LEVEL above and it will create the opening. I alway have a wall above on the level above.
