Hi everyone, I am having trouble remembering how to draw a stair that goes between two floors and makes two 180 degree turns before reaching the top. 1.) I am unsure about where to place the cut line. 2.) when showing the plan in stair, does it look different when shown on the plan of the first floor vs. the second floor? 3.) Since the stair makes two 180 degree turns before reaching the second floor, the landing for the second flight is directly under the third landing which is the second floor, but the way I drafted it it is impossible to differentiate what is above vs. what is below, and what the proper order of the up and down flights of stairs. I have attached a screen shot of my drawings and would greatly appreciate any help you can give. Thanks so much!!

Greetings everyone, I'm new to LISP and am trying to develop a routine that would help making drawing stair plans easier. Its easy to get mired in the volume of information so a little guidance would go a long way. Bear with me... The idea is to have the routine ask for dimensions and it draws risers and treads in a designated orientation. I'm starting with just a simple straight run of stairs and once I'm better with LISP I'll try making one for curved stairs. I imagine the use of the array command may come in handy but being a LISP newbie I have no idea whether or not this is feasible. At the moment my code consists of designated points and drawing lines between those points. Think of it as a routine to draw a custom ladder where you can input the number of rungs. Thanks in advance for any info.

First of all, hello to everyone I am very glad I have this forum to whine about problems I face recently. I know there are many of you who can easily help me solve this newbie problem, ad that's why my first post is about it. I also know that I will have to await for moderation approval, since I had to put image links here to better explain my problem, but I can ive with that much more easily than to reply many times in order to specify my problem without images. In this way, I hope you will get all needed info. I am using AutoCAD 2012, for the first time in my life. I already work with Photoshop for years, but for this type of work (3D Modelling) I need AutoCAD, which I find very good. ow, I wanted to make simple stairway in 3D. I provided images so you will probably be surprised that I managed to make apartment plan with walls, doors, windows (all in their visibility, transparency, measures, etc.) but not to make simple stairway. Though I did it, but when you see it in flat surface, you would see that I made 2 mistakes by misplacing it in Z coordinate. That's still not visible in this view I provided (e.g. 2nd stair is physically hovering over 1st one for 2 inches, lol). And these stairs I managed to fit into surroundings but that was painful process to me. I had to move them brick by brick in their positions. Awful and disgusting. I know there's a simple way to do it, but all I could find about it in online help was helix command and how to make spiral ones. Well, I don't need it, I need these ones, simple but complicated, as it seems. These are helpful images I created for you. Please help me. Thank you. IMAGE 1 - stairs I made and shaped already. Will fix them later. IMAGE 2 - a block where I want to cut the stairway inside of it

I am using Autodesk Architecture 2010. When I use the stair tool, draw the stairs, clicking where they start and stop, hit enter, they disappear. What am I doing wrong?

How can I create a landing on 1st floor external fire exit stairs??
