What is the best route to take in order to connect building floors using stairs as in the ESRI Campus example web scene (http://www.arcgis.com/apps/CEWebViewer/viewer.html?3dWebScene=9c0e319bfaff4d33a0fe2da97c2c3fd7 )? I am unsure of how to best approach this....
I currently have floor layers that have attributes distinguishing stairwells. My floors have been added from file geodatabases and the height offset has been manually set while aligning to terrain.
Any advice or suggestions would be super helpful! Thanks!

Attached is a rule that makes stairs. It was used in the Atlanta airport demo at UC 2015, so there may be some code that was specific to how that was setup. You'll have to study it some. I wrote it, but I don't remember exactly how the directional logic works. You'll have to figure that part out through experimentation.

Never mind. That was dumb of me. I replaced 'else: NIL' to 'else: AddOutline' where needed. It's all working fine now. Thanks again for all of your help!
I have combined the stairs rule with a floor plan rule in hopes of being able to use the 'floor plan' portion except in the case where the room type is specified as a stairwell in the attributes. The rule works for either the stairs or the floor plan, but I cannot get both to generate at once. CityEngine has automatically assumed two start rules for the rule file (AddOutline and StairMaster). AddOutline is associated with coloring the floors and generating walls and StairMaster (surprise surprise) is for the stairs. When AddOutline is specified as the start rule, the areas where RM_TYPE=STAIR are left empty. When StairMaster is used as the start rule, the stairs are generated but nothing else.
How can I get the floor plan and stair shapes to generate simultaneously?
Thanks again for all of your help!

I'm sorry Valerio, the rule is not intended for sloped streets. It runs on flat rectangular shapes. You can adjust the slope in the Inspector for the rule.
I just applied the rule to planar sections in stairwells of my floor space.
Here is the rule:
@StartRule
Can you explain me how to do it please?
Hmm it worked perfectly for me...I just added in color and transparency
Please, someone can explain how to use it? I tried to apply to shape object but it doesn't work!
I tried to apply to a sloped street, but nothing. Please, help me, I need to transform a sloped street to a flight of steps!
This is super helpful. Thank you very much!
Thank you Chris. Very useful
