agriffiths Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Hey everyone, I am at a loss as to what I am doing wrong here and have tried to find the answers in the forum, but can't seem to. What can I do here to lower these stairs? I need the top tread to attach to the deck and the bottom to be on the ground. May be related but I also can't seem to get the railing to sit ON the deck without it acting as a part of the deck (even though the deck is separate). Any insight is greatly appreoiated!

Can't tell about the railing without seeing the plan though I have some guesses. For your stairs, draw the stairs using alternate draw mode(right mouse click) This will draw the stairs down, thus changing the reference elevation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robdyck Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 To fix your stairs, you'll need to delete the stairs you have and redraw the stairs from the deck edge while holding the Alt key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agriffiths Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 @Renerabbitt it seems it's happening on my rocks as well - they won't move from their elevation line. I'm at a loss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 You can also just turn off "automatic heights" for the stairs and then adjust the top and bottom to be whatever you want. If you make your fence "no room definition" it will fix your deck railing. Not sure why the fence affects the deck though. Might want to fix the alignment on the deck rail that joins the invisible deck rail because you have a slight jog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is because you have a fence that is creating a Room and the rocks are set to be positioned relative to the finished floor elevation. Make all fences 'No Room Definition' Set all landscaping objects to be positioned relative to Terrain, not finished floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 For your rocks, it looks like you are using a distribution path. If you open it up, and use the "edit" button, you can change the way the rocks work. If you make them relative to the terrain height they will sit on the terrain whatever height it is. Looks like Robert beat me on the rocks but since I beat him on the fence, I call it "win" for both of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give your suggestion a try and see if that changes things. Thanks!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Actually, the jog is happening because your railings are not aligned with each other in plan view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
