Stairs. Because of the new story concept, stairs are now ‘story-aware’. You can select a stair to go between two different stories and Vectorworks will calculate the number of risers required to fit.
The new stair in Vectorworks has a lot of control over the stair graphics.
How to fix the new stairs when the max/min settings get in the way.
There are several ways to create stairs in Vectorworks. There a a few tools you can use, some for simple stairs and some for more complex stairs. Then, you can ignore all the tools and use other methods. If you want.
Simple Stair. This is the stair to use if you want a fast an simple stair. But remember, it is a simple stair, so it will be limited. This tool is Vectorworks 2010 and above only.
The custom stair is a flexible stair, and you can make very complex stair with it. To use the stair effectively, you need to understand the basic concept behind the stair.
The Custom stair can be placed on two layers. When you move the stair on one layer, it updates on the other automatically. The stair will use the layer settings (Layer Z) to calculate the height of the stair for you.
