Need Help with Stairs, ASAP

[Soskic]

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

Draw a side view (profile) of your stairs using the correct height and tread width then either extrude it or use presspull on it. Done.

Are you going to add your post to ALL the threads re: 3D spiral stairs? We'll have to make more room.

OK Remark, I think I informed gentlemen well...
