MrBill318 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I am trying to place a simple stairwell from the basement to the 1st floor. But when I place the stairs it does not create a stairwell. The stairs just go right through the 1st floor, floor. What am I doing wrong? I have attached 2 examples. Mrbill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawB10 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Click the auto stairwell button on your left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Stairs don't automatically create a hole in the floor above. You can use the Auto Stairwell tool as Law said, or make your own Open Below room on the floor above to manually create the opening. Please fill out your signature. -------------- It helps if we know what title (Suite, Pro etc) and version (2014, 2015 etc) you are using. You can add this info to your signature by clicking on your user name at the top right of the page, click My Settings, then Signature on the left.

MrBill318 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Sorry, still don't understand. Can you be a little more specific or maybe give me a link on how to create a basic set of stairs from the basement to the first floor. I don't understand "make your own Open Below room on the floor above to manually create the opening". Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I provided links in the post just above. Very many answers can be found with a bit of searching. Did you try using the Auto Stairwell tool? I'm sure Help explains how to use it. Select the stairs, click the tool, you get an opening in the floor above. Did you review the Open Below room type in Help? Did you watch any of the YouTube videos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
