toddjanzer Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I am having trouble attaching stairs to a deck. Note that my deck is not attached to any structure and I think my problem is that I have not specified the elevation for HD Pro to know how or where to connect them. I'm watching all the videos over & over, but still can't figure out what is needed to specify this dimension, so that my straight stairs or drawn stairs will automatically join my deck. Any advice would be very much appreciated. This software is very powerful, but it takes some time to become familiar with how all the parts effect each other.

Rookie65 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 That will give the stairs a starting reference point to determine the treads, rise & run to reach the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great I will study that... There are a lot of settings, so that’s what I think I needed was a push in the right direction:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I got it! Under terrain specification... I set the Subfloor height above terrain to 30", it was on automatic before & that was putting my deck on the ground. Thank you, I was up late last night trying everything & so I appreciate your advice which got me onto the right path... Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
