Special stair shape

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello everyone!
I work in version 12 and I have this stair I wanna build and I can't.
I remember that in older versions there was this shape available, I'm quite sure I remember it. Now I do this shape with the fill tool and I use Create stair from selection and still it doesn't let me build the stair with the usual problem that the edges must be on different sides sth like that.
I tried to split it into two pieces but it says the same thing.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

....probably not
If u need landing in the middle than u have a problem cos AC will create for u only 3 flights
modeling tools is what we neeeed as soon as possible
I dont have all these options in my stairmaker I only have half of them,
do you get these again in v.13? because I remember them in a previous version.
Anyway, thank you for the pics, I changed the shape a little bit and its ok now, it was that thing with the edges you told me.
Many thanks!

When you go to Create new stair in Stair dialog u will get possibility to create all stairs but custom stair button will be grey.
If u create custom stair like i told u before then u get possibility to choose between Custom stair and C shape stair.

If u compare Archicad 12 and Archicad 13 there is
nothing new and all problems that u had in previos versions,
you will have them in AC13 too.

There is no modeling differnce betwen AC12 and AC13 !
just some small cosmetic stuff

Wendy, I don't know if this is the problem but the line of travel may contain only Lines or Arcs. It may not contain Polylines.
If you try to use Polylines in the line of travel, it will not work. Only simple Lines and Arcs.

Im not sure if this is right, because I thought that polylines with arcs would do it right, except of I have simple lines and I have the Enable groups button on. I dont know
thanks for suggesting it though!!

You were absolutely right!!!!!
I used polyline and I had to use simple lines for the line of travel.
