So I'll start with a few:

A quick one done with some post-processing to convey a mood of a dark gloomy Monday morning after a weekend of very heavy partying.
The usual suspects - ArchiCAD, Vray, After Effects. Photoshop, Digital Film Tools, Motiva RealCamera, and of course, MS Paint.
Just a basic question, though I know it's not at all related to this thread... What/where did you find to create the stairs and the rails in this image please ?

Yeah, stairs are not always a happy topic on these here talking boards, thanks in part to the glaring deficiencies of ArchiCAD's built in Stair tool as you may have noticed from the ArchiCAD 14 threads.
Naturally you can't create railings that look like that with AC's Stair tool, and as such I built the whole stair the old fashioned way using slabs, walls, roofs and good ol' SEO Booleans.
It's not parametric or smart, but it does the job for what's necessary. Even though it's kind of sad that you have to resort to very rudimentary methods to create what is essentially a very modern stair even in the latest version of ArchiCAD.

I've had good results for glass panel stair guards using the Complex Profile as a wall. AND you can also use the same approach for treads.....

Use the top of the glass profile as a guide for another complex profile making a rectangular handrail.

Do you consider this a good outcome?

What would you improve next time?
When I posted the screenshot I hadn't realised I had used a a previous design so the finished stair doesn't quite match up with the screenshot.
Didn't find the answer?
