Re: Staircase generator plug-in At the bottom the Last stair elevation is displayed so you can adjust the parameters to fit your required height. The global size is the size of the object, i.e. including the handrails, pole, etc. So the global height is higher when there is a handrail. Last stair elevation 2.70 + handrail 100cm = global height 3.70. Same with the width: stair width + stringers left and right = global width (for a straight staircase). Thickness is the thickness of the thread board. It doesn't change the step height because the riser height decreases when the thread thickness increases. Unfortunately it only goes up to 3 cm where I usually have threads of 4 or sometimes 5 cm thick. If I can't get to the exact height I try to get as close as possible. After generating the staircase I simply adjust the height of the object so it fits flush with the floor. Put a camera pointed at the top of the stairs.Use the ⤓ handle at the corner of the staircase in the 2Dview to drag the height until it is flush with the top of the floor. While you drag in the 2Dview you can see in the 3Dview the height change. Make sure you are fully zoomed in in the 2Dview so you get the smallest height change for the drag. Thread offset is how much the thread stick out over the riser. For public staircases 0 this should be 0. For a simple concrete staircase without railing/handrails: Create a box for 1 step and use the multiplier plugin to create a staircase by simply generating the other steps. Give it a concrete texture and you're done. You can create a box sized to 1 mm precision. (For the multiplier set the Y value to 0, the Z value to the height of the step, and the X value to the offset for the steps (thread depth where the step itself is of course deeper). It's a wonderful tool although I always custom create my staircases. I use it for quick prototyping and sometimes as as an easy calculator for the different sizes. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
