Hi,
I'm sketching U shape stairs as 2 straight runs in addition to 1 arc shape run, the construction concrete is available only below the last run only. How to fix this problem.
Thanks

Stair by Sketch.

Actually, I don't understand what you are asking. And your screenshot is too dark. Hard to tell what you are calling out. What to try again?

Hi, I created stairs by sketch. The stairs made of construction concrete with treads and risers. The red arrow indicates that only the last part of the stairs has construction concrete when the other parts have only treads and risers. The problem is that there is no concrete when all these 3 parts of the stairs have the same properties and it's not related to a particular view or camera.

Thank you for your support.

Increase the Structural Depth.

....this:

The structural depth increases the thickness of the available concrete. But it will not add concrete to the missing one

HUH? I still don't understand your issue. Post the file.

It's a stair without concrete

Turn off Riser.

Turn it off will show the concrete. But if I switch it on again the concrete disappears. In the end, I should turn it on for a material purpose.

It's FUBAR. It should work with both Risers and Treads. Just re-do it.

BTW: Yours works fine if I change the Riser Thickness. Go figure.

Keep Riser on and change Nosing Length to at least equal to Riser thickness.

The riser thickness has no effect on my file. I will redo it later on and see if I can get a better result.

Many thanks

Just tried @ToanDN's suggestion. Works like a charm.

Yes this works

FWIW: Looks like you discovered a bone fide limitation. This is a totally replicable phenom. Weird. But fun when you find 'em. Now we need to find a workaround. I mean, nosing is not acceptible to me personally.

BTW @zs-17 : I think you meant to give @ToanDN a lil' green check mark. Not two of them to me. I appreciate the one though. Thx. They're fun to get.

I accepted both solutions. You both tried to help. It's very cheerful to find a solution.
