Re: Advanced Staircase generator plug-in v4.0
I tested it, it works, and it's a very laborious plugin. Congratulations!
Some of the new features don't work (yet), but I think you'll get them to work (Y-shaped or T-shaped stairs).
The profile editor is very interesting (at least for me).
May I use it as inspiration for my other plugins?
In return, I could try to organize your source code better. 7625 lines in a single sheet is a bit too much and difficult to manage.

Gents, feel free to update/upgrade/improve the plugin as you see fit smile

The Y shaped T shaped Inverted T Y shaped are a bit beyond my expertise so give it a try.

And yes you can use the shape designer code or upgrade it :-)

Round landings or Polygonal landings also need to be added ;-)
