I’m still a beginner when it comes to modeling curved stairs, and I was wondering if someone could help me with this. I’ve been assigned a task at work to create a staircase with a design similar to the one in the attached image.
I’m struggling with how to model the curves on the sides (green lines), the embedded/recessed concrete (blue lines), and the handrail (orange line) (see attached image for reference). If anyone has a tutorial video or a step-by-step guide that I can follow, or any tips you can share, I would really appreciate it!
I’ve also attached the skp file in case it helps. Thank you so much for your time and assistance!
It makes little sense, it’s better to show you how and you to draw it yourself.
I drew starting from a rectangle and using Line, and it looked a bit like what was in the picture, but for what you want, it’s better to create it by drawing over the picture.
Thank you for this tutorial! I really appreciate the guidance. I’ll try drawing over the picture as you suggested and attempt to recreate it. Would it be okay to ask if I have any follow-up questions? I’ll also make sure to follow the videos you shared here.
There were some adjustments to the number of steps, bringing the total to 24. The straight part was also adjusted to 1600mm instead of 1700mm. Do you think this might be the reason?
When I followed the video tutorial, the part where you create a circle for Curvishear with a 55cm radius wasn’t working for me—it wouldn’t connect from the step above to the step below. So, I tried connecting it by adding a straight line instead.
In this part of the video, may I ask how you determined that a 55cm radius is the right dimension/size for the circle you’re using? I’ve been trying to adjust it between 56–60cm, but unfortunately, it still won’t connect.
After lots of trial and error, I finally did it! It’s not perfect yet, but I think it’s pretty close to the reference. Huge thanks again, @mihai.s for your guidance and for patiently answering my questions—I really appreciate it!
