Curved Stairs & Handrail

Hi, I am encountering an issue whereby I cannot figure out how to start a consistent angled slice from 1100mm from the bottom, all the way to the top of the cut-out cylinder shape.

I have attached the SketchUp file for reference.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Have you tried the ā€œsolid tools (pro only)ā€ which let you substract solids (angle) from other solids (cylinder)?

Else maybe you can try search for an extension that can bend groups/components, like ā€œclf shape benderā€ or ā€œtrue bendā€.

With True Bend: Starting with a flat version.

Take a look at this video, this will show you how to make a spring,which is actually the path you want around the edge of your cylinder.

That might get you some of the way there by doing it manually - although I’m sure there are other ways you can do it
