3D stairs

BrianLomas — Thu, 07 Jul 2016 14:45:16 GMT

Hello everyone,

I've been working on some interior 3D layouts and have had trouble figuring out how to build stairs in Arcgis Pro. Someone have any ideas on how to accomplish this? I don't have city engine or arcscene to start from.

you are pushing the realm a bit.. that is what cityengine is for, but

If you create polygon features for each course of the stairs, you can use 3d editing tools in ArcGIS Pro to move them to the appropriate Z for each course, and add some extrusion for the thickness of each course.

I ended up creating polygons for each step in Arcmap and filled in the base elevations. I also added the 'kick plate' part of the stairs in my floorplan line layer with added base elevations and height attributes. It turned out pretty good but took some time in creating them. I think it would be pretty easy to create a model in model builder to generate the attributes automatically if you had several to do.
