Kalvin18 Posted December 20 Share Posted December 20 Trying to create this in chief and I can only seam to make the "floating" treads, not the riser to connect in the zig/zag formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted December 20 Share Posted December 20 In CA, there is no way to specify the riser thickness so I don't think there will be any tricks available. If it were my project, I'd model the stairs as close as possible (probably means you get treads only), and then I'd add a molding polyline (drawn in section view) to finish them off.

This may be close enough, make your treads with 0 overhang and about 16" thick, open risers and open underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted Sunday at 10:52 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:52 PM Honestly, I would simply draw those as a CAD box and when I had the shape right I would make a solid and give it the depth/width it needs. These are not typical stairs, so just like in the field where they won't likely be built with regular stringers, you will need to use all the tools and think it over a bit.

robdyck Posted Monday at 04:18 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:18 PM If using a 3d solid, keep in mind that solids will not necessarily update their line weight settings as you toggle between views. This can cause unwanted line weights on your final prints if you don't carefully look for this issue before printing to pdf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
