Spiral staircase snapped to/following dome wall

Anonymous — Sat, 28 Mar 2020 06:03:13 GMT

I am drafting a house that is shaped like a dome. I am trying to draft a curved stair case that is snapped to the inside of the dome to follow the curve of the dome. What is a quick method/technique to accomplish this? I feel like there must be a faster/easier way. My skill-set with AutoCAD is.. In development.. Tried finding YouTube tutorials with relateable skills, had no luck. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

>> I am trying to draft a curved stair case

Using AutoCAD or AutoCAD architecture? ... second one is the AutoCAD based vertical which knows walls/windows/doors/stairs/roof/....

For plain AutoCAD please upload the dwg-file you have so we can see what you have tried already and what is missing.

layout like so?

Dome

Helix 1/4 turn

step

arraypath

But as you get to the top steps headroom is ? so path of walking need to move toward center as one goes up the steps? which means the tread width must meet a code for each step as well and headroom
