FynrDzynrParticipantConcept Plan for redeveloping an old brick water tower.
Adding a circular staircase but there are no options for a circular landing. To comply with NCC I need a landing halfway between floors.
Any suggestions? Radius at GL (c) is 3460 but at the top level is 4020 (6 changes in all over the 8 levels) due to reduction in external wall thickness.

when will Envisioneer actually number the treads automatically like it’s “legacy” predecessor did 25 years ago?
When will users be able to snap to corners & midpoints of treads? Designers HAVE to be able to confirm/document compliance with codes/regulations and in this scenario it’s challenging (to say the least)July 12, 2017 at 8:17 am #9465

Have you tried a circular floor that you elevate?
Go to Tools>Layout>Circle.
Draw a circle to the size of landing you require.
Select the circle, right click, select Convert to…Wall.
Select a wall.
Insert a floor by room in the circlular room you just created.
Elevate it up as the landing.
Without a picture of what you are wanting that is the best suggestion I can offer.

Same width (b) & radius (c) but the arc of the landing 500m from the narrower edge – picture another tread that’s like 3 standard treads butted together – that has run (c) of at least 750
July 12, 2017 at 3:44 pm #9461louisacoModeratorif you have both flight of stair on the same location you can use the line+convert to wall mothod to create the landing.
you can use the centreline as a guide to create the outline of the landing (straight lines or arcs). convert the outline to walls (you can also curve walls, if you used straight lines to create the outline)
Then you can insert floor by room, delete the walls and elevate the floor to the landing height.July 12, 2017 at 4:52 pm #9460FynrDzynrParticipantBoth flights on the same location is a PITB. Users aren’t given an option to Polar Array a staircase.
Due to the location of openings, arc angles of landings may have to be varied. Another option would be to move the landing down/up the staircase. Far easier to manipulate if it’s just a single entity.
The radius increasing 7 times in the overall height just compounds the extra work involved. - AuthorPosts
