    Staircase

    Can anyone advise me on how to construct a 3 piece staircase as every time I try it ends up twisted and either with one part blocking off the last stair to the previous rise or not meeting as one staircase.

    I am using this for my degree and my assignment deadlines are getting ever nearer.

    Any help would be greatfully received.

    A very frustrated, Karen

    Product version, total rise/run, and general shape?

    Draw each segment first, then click your landings in place. Draw clockwise from lowest to highest. Use the auto stairwell tool. Only fuss with the stair dbx once you get a suitable shape. Practice on a blank plan before executing into your project.

    Attached took 3 minutes, not pretty, but it works.

    Thanks Jon and Kat.

    I think I'm getting the hang of it but now can't put an autostairwell in as the button has disappeared!!!
    I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end !!??
    I'm going to try again tomorrow as it's now 10.05pm here so brain has had enough for one day.

    Thanks again for all the support,

    Regards, Karen

    Hi Kat and Jon,

    Kat, it works!! I'm beginning to scare myself with how this is going (I have to admit that a lot of it is down to the help I'm getting on here!)

    I now have a few schematic plans so things are going better.

    Jon, I am far too stubborn to give up now

    Once again, I am really grateful for all the help.

    Take care,

    Karen
