Hello everyone. I have a problem with creating a handrail in 3d for stairs, if you take a look to my drawing attached to this post.I need to divide that red part of handrail in two equal parts and adjust by ucs that i could to print them out in 2D like this ( please see the picture in 2d view).uploads/204404/Plot.pdfI would appreciate any help.Thank you for your time.uploads/204404/Stairpro.dwg

Eldorado: I don't know if you realize it or not but your drawing is based on a template that uses IMPERIAL units. In this case they happen to be DECIMAL inches. Given that your location is listed as the United Kingdom wouldn't you rather be drawing using a template based on METRIC units?
Your stringer actual measures 40 INCHES wide not 40 MILLIMETERS. Same thing goes for your riser height which you show as 179. It is in inches not millimeters. BTW...40mm = 1.57 inches which is pretty close to the what it would be in the U.S. 170mm = 7.05 inches. Edited by John Connor - 23.Jan.2014 at 18:22 |

OK...you know. Are you going to do anything about it?
Do you know how to extract the 2D views from the 3D model? |

Yes I know but in this case is more complicated. I think about how to set the coordinate system usc that I could extract 2D .If there would be a two arcs instead helix ,would be no problem.

What command will you be using to extract the 2D views? It may not make that much of a difference what your UCS is set to.

Set it for a plan view then derive the other views from it.

I have done but unfortunately is not accurate design. I have done with arcs as i said before and adjusted the ucs.There is a file uploads/204404/StairproHan...dwg
