Sylynn Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Hello, I am trying to manually change the riser height of a staircase, however that option seems to be greyed out. I've looked in the help section as well as searched the forums here, and both have indicated I need to uncheck "automatic heights". The problem is, I don't seem to have this option. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 In order to obtain full manual control over stair objects, you would have to upgrade to Home Designer Pro or Chief Architect Interiors or Chief Architect Premier. I am sorry but that is the Truth of the matter. Architectural costs what it costs and does what it does. All you can do with Architectural is to vary and or lock the "Tread Depth" and then add or subtract treads With Pro, Chief Interior and Chief Premier you can manually set the bottom and top height as well as lock "Tread Depth", add and subtract treads manually, it does make a big difference with Stairs.

Sylynn Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 That's a shame. I get that each of the less expensive titles will have their limits, but it's quite annoying for it to come with a help file that doesn't indicate those limits, but rather tells you to do something you can't. Ah well... Thanks for the response! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you manage this? No matter what I do, I can't get the riser height to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 ????? Open the stair dialog box and set the numbers as shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
