jdchicker Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I am trying to create a stairwell that has a 90 degree turn. I figured out how to use the winders (and this is almost working right - for some reason the corner is not filling), but my bigger issue is what is happening to the wall next to the top half of the stairs. If I draw the wall that is supposed to go around the stairs, it initially looks fine, but then when I refresh things, it cuts the top of the wall off at an angle that follows the line of the stairs. I have erased and redrawn the wall several times and it keeps happening. Is there a way to prevent this? Also, is there a way to have different handrail sections at each run of the stairs (i.e., one with balusters for the lower part with no wall and one without balusters attached to the wall that keeps disappearing).

Fidellaty Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 After you browse for the file to select you have to choose the button right below to "Attach This File". It doesn't look like you plan was attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdchicker Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Attached are several photos of the actual house and I have reloaded the model as well. Thanks for your help. Stair Trouble 10APR16 v1.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I have the same issue. It seems as if the stair gets a little too wide (no idea why) and if I pull in the width then the winder section pops backing shape. If I go back to it later then sometimes it has stayed put but then on other occasions it goes back to what you are experiencing. I would send the plan to tech support and ask them to look at it. If you lookout the second screen shot it appears as if that wall is cutting into the stair at its LH end. If you pull that back then the stair winder section should correct itself. I should add that I was using Chief but they both have the same basic programming. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawB10 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Here's what I came up using Suite 2016.. I use the Landing tool to create the winders. winder.planwinder.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdchicker Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 That looks pretty good, with the exception of the lack of runner on the landings; at least it is structurally closer to the actual house. I will try it with my model. Thanks for the help!! Also, I submitted my issue to tech support yesterday (before your response). I will re-post if they come up with a different solution that is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawB10 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Thanks, When you create the terrain perimeter the Garage sits low, the room floor above the Garage is to high and there's issues with the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawB10 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 David, The same thing you did in the Video is what I had done. The issue is when you use winders instead of landings, it screws the wall up, for some reason the wall follows the stairs even if you move the wall away from the stairs.

jdchicker Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Hi David, Thank you so much for taking the time to do the YouTube video. I learned a ton from watching you. I think I now have the knowledge to make this work. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawB10 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I just stumbled upon a fix for this issue, to keep the wall and winders, use a pony wall, it will not follow the stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdchicker Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 I will give that a try. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution jdchicker Posted April 15, 2016 Author Solution Share Posted April 15, 2016 The pony wall worked when I set the lower portion to the full height of the wall. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
