Stairs

[gelbuilding]

The stairs have been largely improved, though im having a few issues.

The handrail at the top of the stairs dont quite reach the top on the left.

The handrail on the right side cuts into the the floor. Cannot see anywhere to adjust the handle rail distance from the edge. The stair floor opening i use the auto opening.

Lastly i would like to finish the three winder on the outsde corner to a point.

I'd suggest it be a 5-kite winder.

Here are the plans

George,

The winders first.

Place a straight stair, lock number of treads at 3.

Select the stairs and while holding Ctrl drag the top of the stairs around so that the top is at 90deg to the bottom.

Drag the small grip on the inside of the stairs to the center point -- use some guide lines if needed.

Make sure the stairs are inside a room or you won't get any winders.

I couldn't read the dimensions on your posted diagram.

 

I just noticed you posted the plan - I will post anyway and have a look at your plan a bit later.

George,

Pretty well as I said above...except.

Once you have the stairs coming to a point, move the that point of the stairs that point to the correct location with Point To Point move.

The stairs will probably then need the width adjusted - you can do that by dragging the outside of the stairs to bump the inside wall surface.

Plan attached.

I ignored the rails at this stage.

just curious if that is allowable in Oz? it wouldn't meet Code in most parts of Nth America AFAIK due to there being nowhere to step. (Put your foot)

Yeah Mick allowed.

See dwg of what we can do here, taken from National Construction Code.

We can have six in one landing.

The stairs worked out perfectly except when i used the "Automatical generate a stairwell above these stairs, I got a curved balustrade in the corner.

If i make the openning manually with railing walls it comes out correct.

Glen i see you didnt use the auto tool.

I think you know what my comment on that would be!

Can you post a plan - save me drawing one?

I prefer to do it manually by using 3 stair sections.

The auto stairs use 2 stairs and stair landings for the winders and landings.

And you only get 2 winders - easier with manual.

yep,  min 6" deep at any point and a minimum of 10" wide 12" in from edge (the walk line)

Yes, that was what I was thinking , it was changed years ago in most places I've worked.

Glen, I was talking about the opening above the stair.

If I use the, Automatical generate a stairwell above these stairs, i get the curved balustrade in the corner. 

If i manually build the railing around the top floor i get a clean opening around the staircase.

The stairs are actually a curved section as you can see in plan view but the treads extend out to the Wall in the corner if the Winder setting is checked, but AFAIK CA still "thinks" it is a curve stair , hence some manual cleanup above the Winder Treads, though personally I find the Auto Stairwell Hole is rarely correct and needs adjustment , though it is a good place to start.
