Cut plane question

[Anonymous]

Can someone explain what a cut plane for stairs are in english to a newbie?
Also how do i change the arrow direction on the stairs?

The cut plane is the "arbitrary" location the cut line (default is 3'-6"
above the insertion point) will occur. or... another way of saying, the
break point between the up and down portions of stairs. It is meant in the
same way we "cut" through a building to draw a floor plan, to decide what is
visible, what is above/below.

Does that help? If you read my response for the Stair Display topic (last
post) it might help too?

Experiment with changing the cut plane of the stair and see how it moves,
then change it to zero. You'll see only the down arrow is displayed (as
long as the Path DN component is not off). The arrows you see depends on
where the cut plane is located and which Path component is on.

Did you read the other post I mentioned yet? There is a file in the
customer-files group that relates to that thread also.

Does that help?
