Stair Issue
-
I have made a dynamic component for a straight stair and a "Dog Leg" Stair. The "Dog Leg" stair I am having an issue with. Here is my dilemma; for stairs I don't want to have a height dialog box, I only want to input the riser height and tread depth, so no length dialog box either. I have been working at it to no avail, but think I am close. If someone could take a look at it and see if they can get it to work I would appreciate it a lot.
I have it setup so the lower portion(below the landing) can be any number of risers/treads and the same above the landing. With this being said I want the landing to be in the correct location of course.
Thanks for the help.

Any help with this from anyone. I have tried multiple variations and every time it ends up the same way no matter how it gets written. I have tried from scratch again, but every time I have it setup and then change a value it all gets jacked up. I have tried it with the tread depth/riser height/stair width/riser number/tread number to be in each sub-group and linked back to the parent component. When it comes to changing a value, it all goes hay wire. It reverts to the value of one group and the other groups don't recognize the values since they are not inside of that group (this is my understanding.) This has been bugging me to no end since I started it days ago.
But like I said I only want to have 1 riser height dialog box, same for tread depth, stair width, lower risers, lower treads, upper risers, upper treads. I dont want to have to insert a height value or a length, i know it complicates things.
I know I could get it to work if I only use each sub-group as a DC and have to go inside the parent every time to modify it. This just defeats the purpose of a DC to me.

I got it figured out. I had to replace the parent name to parent when referencing it. I watched a youtube tutorial and the guy used parent instead of the actual name i.e. straight stair, straight Stair!tread_Depth. Now it reads Parent!tread_depth and so on for every reference to the parent, and from parent to grandparent. I am happy now I don't have it lingering in my head every day I get to work on how I can fix it. It will now be a useful component since the landing follows the tread and riser numbers location and same for the turned section of the stair.

Glad you got it worked out, and thanks for sharing the solution here. Sorry no one was able to dig in and help find it, but glad you got it in the end!
