ACA: Stair basics

[@GerryJ08]

Wow. Great video. You can't appreciate how thankful I am right now for finding this tutorial. I was getting frustrated trying to get my stairs to be visible above the cut plane but couldn't figure out how. Thanks Jeremy. You are one of my top 3 online CAD teachers. Thanks again.

[@kaismash2652]

YOU ARE THE BEST TUTOR AT ACA ON YOU TUBE.I WATCHED YOUR VIDEOS FOR SECOND TIME AND EVERY TIME I WATCHED THEM I DISCOVERED MORE AND LEARNED MORE, THANKS JEREMY. I HOPE YOU FIND TIME TO ADD SOME MORE VIDEOS.VERY WELL DONE. APPRECIATE YOUR WORK.

Omg it worked !thank you soooo much jeremy you really saved my life thank you

[@dynamicsteelconstruction2298]

Thanks for your tutorials! How can i access the stair pallet?

[@jeremytf77]

my interface videos show how to various components. Are you using AutoCAD Architecture?

[@ClassicwithStyle]

Hi Jeremy When I try and Short the Lenth of the Stair the Shape in the properties is greyed out is there a reason for this or how can I fix it . ty

[@jeremytf77]

Are you trying to shorten the length or change the shape? Those are 2 different things. Set the shape before you make the stair. The length wouldn't be allowed to be any shorter than permitted by the controlling tread and riser dimensions and the height of the flight.

loving your tutorials thanks, can you do one about multi level building and rooms in attics? thanks

[@mitchellmitchell6938]

Do you have to use the architecture edition for this feature? I have basic autocad

[@jeremytf77]

yes

[@RaymondLiswag]

I'm drawing a floor plan. How do I make it so that the stairs extend from the lower floor to the upper floor?

[@jeremytf77]

After you start the stair tool, use the properties palette to set the height to match the floor-to-floor height between the 2 levels.

[@Teech_]

what if you have a floor slab and you want to create a stair in that slab.

pls also make a video about.. how to make ramps in ACA

[@Archzed]

Hey jeremy im having a hugeee problem with stairs : when I make any stairs an Exclamation mark shows on stairs why ?!! Please help . And can u make another stairs video ?

[@richardaggu-gut3450]

why does im my acad 2012 i cant find the stair command in Home properties. please help.

[@jeremytf77]

You are seeing the difference between AutoCAD (aka Acad) and AutoCAD Architecture (aka ACA). AutoCAD is generic and most people use it predominantly for 2D work. ACA has 'smart' architecture tools that are 3D.

[@richardaggu-gut3450]

I see it, i earned so much headache searching for that command. now i get it. thank you so much for your time Jeremy.

[@Archzed]

And for an example im trying to make like 4 steps for the entry , and im strugling with the properties

[@jeremytf77]

"In" the slab? It sounds like you are asking how to cut a hole in the slab for the stair to pass through? Select the slab, click Hole on the ribbon and Add .... then follow the command line. This is easiest if you have a closed polyline drawn first for the hole.

[@jeremytf77]

It sounds like you're getting the standard error symbols, meaning you're not drafting it correctly as far as ACA is concerned. One common reason for this is insufficient length. For example, set the HEIGHT of the stair before you draw. You must draw as many risers/treads as the stair requires, or else you will be creating a stair that does not work.
