Bend Stairs to Curved Wall

ryangarnett

I'm not trotting out new detail, its in the post "to curved wall". You are proposing changing my wall, so I am providing you the information as to why that won't work.

Just asking is this close to what your trying to do?

I used shape bender.

ryangarnett

Yes that is exactly what I am hoping to achieve. When I have used Shape Bender it lines the stairs up wrong. Would you mind sharing your steps, etc...

Thanks...

I assume your referring to me.

Okay I made a tutorial, I hope I did it right first time making one.

FYI: I used TIGs ArcBy plugin to make the arc.

TIGs ArcBy...
I used the "Radius+Length"

Type in radius of the cylinder
Type in length of the arc
Change number of segments

Thanks Spreadcore...I will try that for sure....Thanks again...

Thank you spreadcore...that tutorial was perfect. I didn't know that you had to have the stairs the same height, and that the straight line needed to be the same length as the rise. These were then things I was missing.

Thanks again....really helped!

Your welcome, glad it worked for you.

FYI:
The straight line needs to be the same length as the "Run" of the stairs.

The "Rise" is the height of the stairs.
