Hi,

Kind of off topic but this looks like poor design trying to cope with restricted footprint....definitely looks restrictive to users who are anything beyond 5'10" or so due to the center being tilted like that. Trying to move one floor vertically in the space of a small coat closet makes this seem like an after thought or one of those "tiny house" solutions....

Thankyou Michael.

I'll have to try mapping a circular spiral set of treads, from its vertical post to a slanted post.

- Brian

The rise of each tread will be constant.
Tread length is roughly left to right shaft opening less post diameter less say 3 inches.

The left to right slant distance of the slanted post is roughly tread length plus 3 inches.

Edit: Will try out Barry's node.

Agree with Grendel. 6ft 5inch headroom is one code.
Grand arc of stairs from movies much preferred.

The geometry is interesting though.

came across this staircase. it looks awesome:

both safe and fun. i like that the steps are rectangular. the slide is just awesome. looks nice too.

Elliptical staircase :)

this isn't a spiral staircase, but it's really awesome:

This is great stuff!

Good thread, thanks to all!

3D PDF built from MoI5 Beta attached...

That looks nice. I'm not familiar with 3D pdf. I opened it and it was like a static image. Are you supposed to be able to rotate, pan, zoom, etc... Or is it being static the way it works? I'm using Firefox's built in pdf viewer.

Hi Anthony,

re:
> I'm using Firefox's built in pdf viewer.

I think that viewer will only handle 2D content. For doing rotate/pan/zoom on it you'll probably need to open it in the Adobe Acrobat viewer instead.

oh, thanks michael. i didn't even know i was missing out on something cool. i'm glad i asked. i haven't used adobe's viewer in, oh, maybe two decades. i didn't know it still existed, lol.

Hi Anthony,

After I read your comments I checked and apparently I'm still using 15 year old software from 2008 (Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended).
Time flies when you're having fun.

If you have an Android phone/device, 3D PDF Reader (Tech Soft 3D), has worked pretty well for me. Not sure about iOS, as I don't have it.

thanks a lot for this information. i'm using android. however, i opened your file on windows. in that case, i'm using Firefox. it seemed like the adobe reader wasn't really needed anymore. at least over a decade ago. i guess they added 3d pdf. which i didn't know about. so learned something new.

Question for danperk (SBEECH) or anyone who can answer.

How did you get the transparent blue glass? is this from Moiv5 itself or something else?

Tnx

Hi Matadem,

The transparent glass was done in Acrobat 9 Pro Ext., it allows you to pick individual objects and specify solid, solid outline, transparent, solid wire frame, illustration, shaded illustration etc.
