Stair section fill

Anonymous

Hi,
Does anyone know how to create a stair with section shown in attached file (top picture). The bottom picture is the one I can create by stair setting. The top picture is the one I would like to create by ArchiCAD stair setting.

Is it possible ?

Many thanks for your help

I myself could not do this when I faced this problem.
I think it is a limitation of StairMaker that only one section material can be used for the whole structure.
I ended up modeling only the structure of the Stair.

I wonder if other solutions like ArchiStair or StairBuilder can do this. I have a feeling they can.

I tried StairMaker by CadImage. It limits as well. Even with their new version for AC 13, it is not as good as StairMaker by ArchiCAD.

I think that is a great limit of all the addons for stairs' making ...
I'm writing a custom stair with these options ... let me complete it and I will share it ... it's in Italian but I hope to have the time to translate it ...
It is derived from the will to draw in archicad also the structural drawings (it's a big challenge without a specific addon ... and I don't know anything about the SDK and the C++ ...)
This stair is derived from a common way of building and allows the user to show also the raisers and the treads or the structure only and moreover allow the user to define the section fills for raisers and treads ...
