RGerbig Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Can someone please help me figure out how to create stairs that cut thru the retaining walls in my plan? The stairs will be to access the lowered elevation region. I have attached a picture of what I am looking for. Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDesLLC Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Jog the retaining wall into a "U", then drop a stair into the "U". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGerbig Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 But how would I execute this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHampton Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Create an exterior "room" at the lower terrace area. Example... use invisible walls to create the terrace area. Make sure that they all connect, and then use the settings for the "room" to show a slab floor with pavers. No roof and no ceiling. Set the floor height to whatever it needs to be below the main house height. Maybe it's a few feet? Not sure. The image doesn't show. Anyway... Use the "landscape walls" to draw over the invisible walls ----> to create the stone walls as per the image. Then use the stair tool to launch the stairs going up from the exterior room until it meets up with the grade. It's sounds complicated, but it's not too bad. You will get.
