Joe_Carrick Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Now, if we could just get: 1. Curved Stair Treads 2. Curved Handrails 3. No Stringer 4. Outside Edge Stinger with size control. Then it would be almost perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Joe, Very easy to get curved stair treads. For no stringer use Opening, No Material. Use Stringer Top and Stringer Bottom to control the stringer size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Glenn, Yes, it can be done and Yusuf showed us how to get a curved handrail - but both are extra work. You can control the Top and Bottom of the Stringer but not the width. Sometimes I want a thin (1/4"-1'2" metal) closed stringer at the outside edge of the spiral. Opening - No Material is a possible solution but might be a problem if I want a Stringer on one side only. CA could do this with some changes to the current Stairs Tool.

yusuf-333 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Joe what does it mean opening no material? I couldn't figure out how to make the curved threads automatically. But I have used the landing to create the curved thread which I think it easy control and get any shape one may want. The railings are created as we have seen in my second video last and hope this could work until ca fixes, of course there are a lot of things they could fix in side the current program status.

glennw Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yusuf, "Opening, No Material" is a material type that displays no material (invisible). You can find it in the library at Materials...Misc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yusuf-333 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Glenn I got OK. But the curved thread edge how, that is some thing that I didn't understand. But as you see landings could solve it also easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yusuf, The curved treads are created by using the Room Definition (invisible) wall to draw a circular room around the stairs with "Winders" checked. The same material can be used to make a curved ramp invisible and only leave the curved rail for use on the spiral stair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yusuf-333 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Glenn yes, but the ramp railing is not smooth as you now. I have posted how to get perfect railing here https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/3706-smooth-curved-railing-video-by-yusuf/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
