Re: Staircase generator plug-in
Hi: As I mentioned elsewhere, I am an architect. That is the base of my problems. I think in structures, not in rooms, etc. -- Now I have a problem with the generate_staircase plugin.
--When I, as an architect start to plan a staircase, I take the vertical floorplan to floorplan distance. Here is the example: Distance=2.70. Stair count=18 (two flights of 9 stairs; U shaped with landing; landing counts as one stair) Stair height=15 > because 18 x 15 = 2.70.
--The result I got last time is:
"Global size (WxDxH): 1.816 x 2.924 x 3.70
Last stair elevation: 2.70--Last stair TOP should be 2.70)
I have tried to change things, but the staircase is always higher or lower than the floor level distance, never fits.
Of course, I don't know what do you mean by thickness. I think in concrete, and it looks like a wooden staircase. I guess I don't get it what the "thickness" has to do with the section shape of the staircase. (It should be 15 high and 33 deep. I use the old formula: 2 x height + 1 x depth = 63 cm)
-- If you have some user guide, please give it to me. I could not find one. Your software makes very fine staircases, I just don't know how to handle it. There must be a way.
Thanks in advance!
