Like Walls, Stairs can be linked to Stories, and so can follow changes in floor height.
See Stair Toplink.
If the Story height changes only by a small amount, the Stairs will follow automatically (the number of risers will remain fixed, and only the height of the risers will increase – within the set Rules).
If Story heights change by a significant amount, then ARCHICAD highlights the affected Stairs in the whole project until the user changes any of the given data (e.g. number of steps or Riser heights).
Stair Settings provides feedback that indicates the changed parameters:
To make the Stair valid (i.e. to extend to the upper story), enter the original offset value into the Settings dialog, then change the number of Risers if necessary.
