Hi,

I'm trying to acheive something better than this  in RC (see attached). I don't use RC very often, and mostly I use preset librairies then modifiy them to my needs. So I'm still a dumb user...
I tried to search the forum first and online tutorials...
Is there a way I can do this, or if anyone could point me to related tutorial, or help ?
Thanks

Julien

Paul Roberts:
Hi Julien,

This is quite challenging because several of the treads are unique and RailClone mainly excels at repeating and deforming geometry. The corner treads for example aren't simply deformed to follow the spline but skewed and cut to create winders and kites.

Was the version in the image created with RailClone? I'm struggling to produce anything that improves on it at the moment and think this may be one of those rare occasions where traditional modelling may be more appropriate.

Best.
Paul

Jm/3di:
Thanks for trying Paul. If there was only the corner treads, I would manually edit them. The version in the image is the best I can do with "Artakan stairs" script, but still not good enough. I tried with Revit and ArchiCAD and I thought maybe Raiclone could be the saver, since I need the geometry you see in the image, and the bottom is smooth like in your cool tutorial on spiral stairs, and there are continuous limons, and continuous specific handrail.
Anyway, thanks again and good day.
Julien

Paul Roberts:
The handrail might be doable with RailCLone, do you have any more references for what you need? Out of interest, what are limons?

Paul

Jm/3di:
Yes I will try to create the handrail with RC. And I'm sorry I wrote too fast, limon is the french word for stringer.
If you can provide your test file, even if the corner tread don't work, I would love to see what the general method is.
Thanks again Paul and good day
