jtcapa1 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I thought I could do this with ease, but I must have forgotten how and could not find the resources at CA or here. I'm doing a 3d model of an existing home plan, and these kind of steps are not so uncommon. How does one generate the first couple of risers and treads this way with a quarter round curve?

jtcapa1 Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 Okay. So your saying each tread now becomes a "shaped landing"? That is an interesting work-around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is as I don't think Chief can do those stairs using the Stair Tool, P.Solids would also work PS best to use screen snips not PDFs so people can see directly in the Forum....

jtcapa1 Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 Okay. That did work with a bunch of fussing around, but for the life of me I cannot get those little pieces of railing to go away. I click the treads and all faces, but the railing is turned off in all of them. Any good way to force them off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 You should be able to force them off with the No Railing>Apply to all edges in each Landings DBX *beaten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtcapa1 Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 Thanks so much. You guys are great! Worked perfectly. Now I have to puzzle out how to get that half wall on the right to follow the "landing" stairs and not step as shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtcapa1 Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 I tried editing in elevation mode, but the handles for sloping the wall were not there. I think I need to try by making the wall full height first. Yup. That was it. Only a full wall can be dragged down and sloped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtcapa1 Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 Both seem to work. I have always struggled to get this kind of cap on half walls and rails, as the railing tool does not allow for side pieces, but a custom shape used as a cap does. Another small point is that when using landings you cannot access or wrap the "runner" as the original picture shows. Seems only available on true stairs. Granted I can spray paint the risers. Also don't have access to the wall trim feature either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
