Stairs Path

[zs-17]

Hi

I created a cast in place stairs. After modifying its shape I have the path direction in the wrong way. the path should be like photo 2 from left to right. I have the direction in the right way when I click on the stairs to modify it (photo 2). I deleted all the available path lines and created a new path for all the 3 lines. I still have the same problem. Noticing that All these readings are in Level F1 when I have a better reading on Level GF (photo 3). I have no idea what is going on. Did I modify the stairs in a wrong way? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Thank you

Clicking on the "Flip Stairs Up Direction" little blue arrow doesn't work for you?

The flip option works well at the same levels as before but still have the same view problem at the same levels in the opposite direction now. Actually, I have a goo reading only at the GF level, and misreading at all other levels.

Looks correct to me. You are talking about the Automatic Up/Down Direction Annotation; right?

The main issue is that the path line should be in the opposite direction. In another word, when the stairs start from left to right the path line appears from right to left the secondary issue is that the arrowhead should reach the end of the stairs. these 2 issues exist on all floor levels when looks as it should be in Ground Floor only. The 2 attachment files are for same stairs from different view levels, the first photo shows the stairs start from the right side to end on the left side, the other photo shows the stairs start from the right side toward the left. also for comparison the first photo on F1 level, when the second photo on GF floor. I should read in all views the path start from the left side and end to the right side instead of having different appearance between levels.

The arrow "reaches" the cut plane -- not the end of the stairs.

This photo shows the info in GF view of Property Browser. The info is perfect, the stairs begin on the left side to ends on the right side, the path line is perfect also. There is nothing wrong here. If you skip to the below photo on Floor 1 level, you will notice the differences.

This photo shows that the stairs begin to the right side and not to the left side as it should be, which is the main problem. Also, the path line doesn't reach the end of the stairs which is the secondary problem.

In all my view levels I have the same wrong stairs info, except on GF. I should have the same info in all my views as same as GF.

Apply a Plan Region around the Staircase in the View and change the Cut and Bottom Plane and View Depth values of the Plan Region.

The Cut Plan should be between 0 (zero) to work properly regarding the Bottom and Top. Also, it Works in View Range of any level if the Cut Plan between 0 and 10cm only.

Thank you

did you find a solution? I have the same issue, I tried with plan region too and it doesn't work 😞

I deleted it and created another one. Things like this happen when we modify the shape of the stairs. We accidentally make a step the wrong way without noticing it, so we get messy and confused about what happened.
