ElizabethS Posted Wednesday at 07:29 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:29 PM Hello, I have tried all the tools I know how to use and I haven't been able to get this one down. Does anyone know how to design a stair that looks like the images attached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted yesterday at 01:25 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:25 AM I don't know of any way to get Chief to generate that spiral railing (or volute) automatically. Your best bet is to find a symbol for it and then manually place it and the balusters under it. You might be able to get Chief to generate the curved steps but this can also be tricky so you might need to give up and just model them with landings or maybe even polyline solids. The curved and sloped wainscotting can also be a bit tricky if you are trying to model it exactly as shown in the lower picture. BTW, there is a bonus library with some stair parts here: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/1296 This stair video might help some but I think it really only covers some of the basics: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/271/adding-stair-fittings.html And last thing to try is a search on this forum for "volute" which should show you some old posts that might still have some valuable tips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
