ArchiCAD 21 - tutorial part 26 - new stair tool

[@92koktong]

Appreciate your effort for recording this stair tutorial. FYI, ArchiCAD 24 is able to draw continuous staircase (flights + landing slab) now

[@RobertMannArchitect]

Hi, thanks. Yes, I've recently recorded an ArchiCAD Design new course for Linkedin Learning (to be released soon) where I explain how to use the stair tool in v24 (stairs & landings) I also have a similar course available on my archi-ed website.

user friendly my ass absolutely hate the new stair should have kept at least the previous settings aswell....to create a simple stair which took like 15 sec now takes a weekend especially for older people who are using the software and dont know english very well they might aswell quit their profession

[@undo7711]

hahaha well said mate. U got me in "user friendly my ass" hahahha

[@imemyslef82]

Any reason you didn't use U shape with landing instead of 2 non linked flights and slab?

[@NiJunChang]

you can create stair in u shape without using slab? cause im looking for that tutorial

[@RobertMannArchitect]

I was mostly trying to explain to my students just how simple and intuitive the new tools are. Personally I love the fact that the rail will relate to multiple elements rather than just one object.

[@aamenavawda2476]

Very helpful! Thanks. Was struggling on my own for a while

Hi. Thanks for the vid! Why am I not having the Flexible option in the Linked - Not linked rool down menu ?

[@RobertMannArchitect]

I'm not a big fan of the AI flexible stretch option. I tend to work out the maths first, and lock out the riser & going values before modelling.

[@lobright4358]

Hi there! I was wondering if you can create a slab which from three directions will have stairs. But not just independent stairs, I want to create these stairs to be the continuity of each other and therefore they will form an angle. Does that make sense?

[@RobertMannArchitect]

no, they would need to be seperate stairs, but they could (and should) all have the same settings

[@lobright4358]

I don't know what people are talking about... I'm using Archicad 22, haven't used Archicad before. It's not so difficult. The first time yes, you have to spent 2-3 hours understanding the setting etc, but later you get used to it.

[@RobertMannArchitect]

great :)

[@staalefosse2649]

when can i drive this stair fils on my robot? i want this to work there

[@Larsbor]

great if you got rid of those extrasounds .. error from machine ... else really good intro to the stairtool. but how does it work with the custom stair ..

[@joseantonioduranvazquez2420]

Hi, Is there any way that you can share that cheat sheet??

[@RobertMannArchitect]

Hi Jose, I am currently editing this cheat sheet with the hope to make it available for download soon. You will be able to find this at www.archi-ed.com.au under the resources tab once I have created it. Please check out what is there now, and check back in a week. Hopefully I will have it up by then.

[@haidarsusarc9621]

what is the problem with archi 21 not showing the stairs in 3D perspective view i was hopping you'd touch on that

[@blizzard9485]

sometimes stairs are filtered in 3D(this happened to me). Ctrl+Alt+A to open Filter and cut elements in 3D and turn on stairs. hope that works

[@haidarsusarc9621]

thanks heaps that did work

[@timothyg1986]

Thanks

[@vutlharhimbhalati4048]

Anyone know how to set the stairs to be over 2400 mm?

[@marciamarinello6263]

The stair tool does not work in Archicad 23. Paid $6,500 for a headache. I have been using Archicad since 2003 and older versions are way more efficient than the recent ones.

[@RobertMannArchitect]

Hi Marcia, you're not alone. Unfortunately the stair tool, although can be very useful, is not very intuitive, clunky and not easy to use without understanding its intricacies. At first I have found my own method of creating stairs just quicker and simpler, than spending the time learning the tool - which is absolutely fine! I have since spent a bit of time with the stair and rail tools and will soon be producing a focused short course on it using ArchiCAD 23.

Thanks mate

[@apaintingjourney6985]
