Wrap Stairs Around Exteior Corner

[dzatto]

How do I wrap a tread around the corner? Nothing I'm trying is working.

Simply use risers and boundaries. Sketch the desired form...

[dzatto]

It still won't work. I think it's because the boundary is in line with one of the risers. The top riser doesn't reallyl make the turn.

Now the stair is disappearing, even though it's the exact same settings as 4 other stairs. Those are all showing up. :banghead:

[mdradvies]

yes it does...
but you need the "end with riser" unchecked

[dzatto]

I must be retarded. I got it to work (thanks for the sketch) , but it's backwards. So I flipped it and it disappears. WTF???

[mdradvies]

ehhhhmmm, did you by any chance constrain something?
Couldn't you just copy in mine?

Select your stair and look for the tiny blue arrow to reverse direction

I thought of that, but then how would I learn? Plus you use that goofy mm units thingy. :laugh:

Yep, did that and the stair disappears.

Just looking at your image what is the little return corner (image 1)
Guessing by looking at your image shouldn't your boundry look like image 2 ?

[dzatto]

Hmmm, didn't notice that. Yeah, image 2 is what I need. Let me see if that return is what's messing it up.

:banghead: I don't know what's going on. I can't do it!!

I've tried drawing the boundary in both directions, it won't flip the stairs.
