3DS Max Stairs with 30 degree steps

Mainrak · Dec 2020

Hello there. I'm creating a building in 3ds max and since the build in stairs are weird (for me at least) i decided to make them manually. Although i tried to approach it in different ways, i cant figure out how to make the 30 degree steps.

There are lots of ways to handle this, but for you I would suggest trying the AEC Spiral Stairs object.

I managed to make the steps with boolean.
Thank you for the advice. Do i make the spiral steps and then edit them to be square?

Yeah. The Spiral Stairs object would get you perfect 30 degree angles, then you could edit the sides to force it into the corner. The other AEC objects can come in handy for the rest of your architectural things like doors and windows and straight stairs.
