If you still need help after reading through the other posts, come back to this thread and ask more questions.

Bill Tillman Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 This is a very wide open question. Depends on what you're making the stairs out of, metal, or wood, etc... Metal spiral stairs are a simple thing to construct. I did one last week for a client which only took about 10 minutes the render took another 15 minutes. Wood stringers are another thing and require more detailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hello Ponz! Draw the first step. Rotate it with the Copy option and move the copy up with the desired amount. Repeat the previous steps: always rotate the last created step and rise it. Use the same values for rotation angle and deplacement so that the final stair will be uniform. For the handrail: draw a spiral and extrude a circle along it. For one time drawing proceed as described. For repetitive tasks you should use a script or a Lisp routine or something to speed up your work. Oh, and welcome in the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
