When a stair connects to a multilayer floor slab, the structural Stair Slab should connect to the structural/core component of the floor slab. Currently, there seems to be no way to define this connection independently.… --- ## [Spiral Staircase Sawtooth Stringer Help](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/spiral-staircase-sawtooth-stringer-help/222865)

I’m trying to create a spiral stair that is completely parametric, I need to add in sawtooth stringers but I’m having trouble getting the ‘zig zag’ edge to curve to the same radius of the stair. I’m very new to grasshopp… --- ## [Stair flight-to-landing connection needs start/end tread control](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/stair-flight-to-landing-connection-needs-start-end-tread-control/222654)

Update: I initially thought this U-shaped configuration could not be created as a single VisualARQ Stair. After further testing, I found that individual flights and landings can be edited through the Stair Object Propert… --- ## [Stair plan representation needs more control](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/stair-plan-representation-needs-more-control/222656)

VisualARQ stairs currently provide virtually no control over their 2D cut/break representation in plan. This is particularly problematic because the current VisualARQ representation does not follow the standard architec… --- ## [Need help Generating Stairs on a Non-Planar Surface in Grasshopper](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/need-help-generating-stairs-on-a-non-planar-surface-in-grasshopper/204542)

Hello all, I’m working with a non-planar ribbon surface in Rhino and exploring how to generate stairs along it using Grasshopper. I previously followed a youtube tutorial method that visually aligned somewhat with my de… --- ## [Stairs slab issue](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/stairs-slab-issue/201057)

I would like to request, if possible, that the slab in the landings be changed when the steps are modified, as in reality, a “loft” is not performed but rather a simple extrusion downwards. This type of slab creates unre… --- ## [Curving a developed stringer](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/curving-a-developed-stringer/200274)

Hi Guys, so im new to Rhino and i’m trying to find a command that can roll this glass track stringer I’ve produced. I’ve created the initial development in autocad and imported into Rhino. What command/ tutorial would sh… --- ## [Plan Views of VA Stairs show step numbers/lines even for occluded steps](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/plan-views-of-va-stairs-show-step-numbers-lines-even-for-occluded-steps/158642)

As the title suggests, Plan Views of VA Stairs show step numbers/lines even for occluded steps. Are there any options that will hide step numbers and stair centerlines for steps/stairs that are occluded, by slabs or oth… --- ## [Issue with Step Count Display and Arrow](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/issue-with-step-count-display-and-arrow/196844)

Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that if I “move down” a staircase so that it intersects with the supporting structure of the slab, the arrow and step numbers disappear when I go back to the plan view. Is it possible to solve t… --- ## [Switchback stairs possible?](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/switchback-stairs-possible/158767)

I am trying to create switchback stairs and run into a problem of either no landing, the landing is huge, or it is a landing with steps. Is there a secret I do not know about? Also, is there a way to make sure to have …
