crosscutter55 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 if i set my stair thread overhang to ( 0" ) on left & right & change the thread depth , can i make a slab with nosing ? in a cross sec. you would see the slab being 1/16" thick & the nosing would be edited in cad to show a 1 " radius on the front edge ?

solver Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Consider using a Custom Countertop. Make it 1/16" thick and add a molding for the nosing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crosscutter55 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 i tried using the custom countertop tool , that seems to work well . However when i look at the drawing in plan view i notice some sides have a line that follows the 45 degree angle & some others do not . The ones that have the continuos line do show the miters being connected & the ones that dont have the continuos show the miters meeting correct Anything thoughts as to what i might be doing wrong ? Does where i click with the red handles have anything to do with it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crosscutter55 Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 i really dont understand this how do i get the green & grey lines , do the colors appear when you break lines ?? I found the stretch to fit area . Would step by step be asking to much ?? I hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 How about the plan. The green is just the color I've set for selected objects. All that does is force the software to turn the corner with the molding. L STAIRS (eric).plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robborito Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I know them as 'treads' and not 'threads'? Is this a US term? Assuming from what I have read here, that's what we are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosscutter55 Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 yes it is what we are talking about I am trying to make a custom stair tread for a deck stairs . the spelling is a computer error lmao THANKS ERIC !!!!! i figured it out sometimes things are so simple !! 1 - use custom countertop tool 2 - draw & edit ( always watch those little red handles ) set all defaults 3 - for wood grains - break edges as required to make wd grains look more realistic , might req. more sections for wd grains I dont know what i did wrong with the plan , you cant open it ? SO IF CHIEF PREMIER THE MOULDING would be easier ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
