Aaron, your videos are truly amazing, I was wondering if you was able to make a video on how to make a staircase that involves a straight line of 8 or 7 steps and then a three turn step followed by another two steps in straight line. If that makes sense. I have a joinery and carpentry business, your videos have helped me so much. Thank you
This was an awesome video, thanks for creating it. Thank you for introducing the extension. Regarding your component vs group comment; using components instead of groups can be helpful if you use the Generate Report function to create a list of the items in your model, say for a BOM. Groups will show up in this report, however you can only assign a tag to them. Components, on the other hand, can have additional information added to them that will show up in the report.
I'm pretty sure I recall an old YT video of SKP natively doing the spiral stair copy into it's correct place and rotation correctly so the only real benefit to this plugin would be that is shows you the location before you hit enter for it to run.
Something like this CAN be created with native tools. Each stair copy, however, requires TWO steps. First rotate a copy, then move it up. Not difficult, but using this extension saves much more than a few commands to make the final staircase!
I can tell you with some certainty that there is no native tool to move and rotate at the same time. You can speed up the process by copying more than one tread at a time, but moving them and rotating them is two steps without extensions.
Very interesting. What fundamentally bothers me as a technician, however, is that the step heights are not the same. That would be a no no if this is actually the case in the drawing, if I haven't misheard
Spiral staircase look cool but are the worst to climb IMHO. In the UK a "bannister" is the wooden rail which sits on top of a set of spindles which attach to the steps of a staircase. A "balustrade" is the complete railing system.

@@SketchUp I'm near certain it was 1 step - which is why I still have it somewhere in my memory because it was an option. I'll look for it.

You are very good as your work

If you follow Aaron's steps, each tread should be the same exact size and perfectly evenly spaced!
Thx Aaron,,,,

I think he was saying "baluster", which coincidentally sounds like bannister, but appears to be the Americanism for spindle.
