The options to edit the stair flights and landings can only be edited from this dialog. The parameters of the stair object can be edited from the Stair properties in the Rhino properties panel or from the VisualARQ Object properties dialog box. There is also the option to create spiral stairs, if needed, under the stair toolbar, or from the command line, after running the _vaStair command. You can adjust the stair shape and properties afterwards. It does not matter if it is not exactly like expected. A new stair flight is created for every insert point.

Specify a new insert point every time the stair turns.

Specify the stair start insert point in the model, according to the bitmap image.

Use the Rule icon along with the Width or the Tread fields to give the stair the proper values according to the bitmap.

Select the Stair style you wish to insert and the basic insert options: alignment (select “right”), height (3m), width, step count (17) and tread dimension (0,3m).

Run the _vaStair command or click on the Stair icon in the VisualARQ Objects toolbar.

Switch to the layer where the Ground floor bitmap is located. After you are done, you should lock the reference layer again, to prevent any accidental modification to the floor_00 layer.Ground floor stairs 1. Follow the command line by select the boundary curve and hit enter or right click then the curve which needs to be extended. If you need extending a curve instead of trimming, you can go to Curve » Extend Curve » Extend Curve. Do the same for the rest of the offset curves.

Select the cutting object, which is our reference line, hit enter or right click, then click on the part of the curve we do not want, then right click again or hit enter. First unlock the floor_00 layer so we can use select the reference lines.

We can simply fix this by using the Trim tool.

If you look closely to the shorter curve, you will notice that the new curve intersects with the reference of the entrance lines. After offsetting the curve, the newly created curve might intersect with other curves in our model, so we would definitely want to fix that so that we maintain a clean model and avoid any possible problems later.
