Fast STAIRS in SketchUp!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Hi everyone - let me know if you have any questions in the comments below! :)

[@Mattsana]

I would hope that one day SketchUp starts adding these important efficiency tools to compete with more serious building programs. Having SketchUp as a tool will get incredibly expensive and a hassle to keep track on all the licenses for the add-ons.

The extension developers will sue trimble for copying their features.

This is exceptionally great

[@billygordon9703]

thanks for this, its always worth watching all your videos even though you may only pick up one or two new tips

[@AnTarchitectsandengineers]

Your guidance are awesome, 🤝🏻 very useful,

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks! :)

This video is exactly what I just needed 😭 Thank you for making this video!!

Very helpful tutorial. Wondering if you have come across any spiral staircase plugins which use some of the common modern metal spiral stairs styles available from prefab metal spiral stairway manufacturers ? Would be helpful if my residential home model used elements that were available from stairway manufacturers. Manufactured spiral staircases have a similar design and style, which for me is a good thing. It isn't useful to have a fanciful one-of stairway drawn in the model when I will most likely be purchasing a spiral staircase from an existing manufacturer from a catalog. I am working on an affordable kit-home design using steel portal frames as the major structural element in order to drastically reduce the number of parts compared to custom stick-built methods of construction. Tried using prefab modular methods, but was not smart enough to achieve my goal of $100/psf. Portal frames have been much more successful on cost and construction time (critical for cost reduction). The kit-home design also needs to scale well: 100, 500, 10,000 homes, which is why I want to purchase a manufactured spiral staircase out of a catalog. thanks. Stay safe.

Does anyone know if I can automatically adjust the width of the stringer ? If I want it to be only in the middle for steel stair for example?

what gpu are you using sir, im a student architecture, need cheap gpu

justin, please do video about trimble connect vizualizer, how render & how use material tray there, thanks in advance

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I'll give it a look

Great video! 🙂 Can that extension bend the entire stairs? (i.e. - - as a curve - or - trapezoidal (bottom step widest + steps become narrower at top)?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

No bend function - Usually I'd try to use something like FredoScale for that

[@_Breakdown]

@@Thesketchupessentials thanks Justin 🙂👍🏼 Could it make a staircase “trapezoidal” (bottom step widest - then the steps gradually get smaller in width as they go up)?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

@@_Breakdown No, the dynamic components themselves are pretty much always going to be uniform - any non fixed width condition is probably going to require additional work with some kind of extension

[@_Breakdown]

@@Thesketchupessentials thanks again 🙋🏼‍♂️ By “extension” you mean Fast-STAIRS or Fredoscale (or either)?

[@garyspeed8961]

powerful DC's but what you are missing is the depth of the upper floor affecting the overall stair height... as the top tread is not ususally level with the finished floor level... it is 1 riser height lower

[@flextools4su]

You can do this! In the component options there is a setting to remove the top step so the flight will start 1 riser lower. You can then choose to extend the stringer to meet the upper floor, while specifying the floor's thickness. I tried to include a link to an animation on our website but the comment disappeared. Feel free to contact us for more info.

Justin, will it be possible for sketchup users one day to have a parametric tool/plug-in for massive estates work just like Open Site Site Ops ? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZvWp3memqedbrs
