      The stairs in the scene sample are just reference. They can be modified. And they must be on the wall

        Hi Javier,

        Thanks for the file!
        I used your references without adjusting them to any typically used formula.
        (There is a formula that makes staircases easy to walk, 2h+1V=63cm)

        The Radius of the Cylinder is the number in the Radius of the Cloner. The outside part has a Radius plus the stair width.

        Or do you wanted is around the Cylinder?

          Hello! Both are fine! But inside the cylinder.

              The curved version has several stairs. How can I make it a single one?

                      Hello! I have another question related to the stairs. How can I make a curved, spline, handrail that goes from the top to the bottom? I'm having problems to get the exact shape of the stairs. See scene. Thanks!

                        Hi Javier,

                        I see that as a similar question, typically new questions should be in a new thread, otherwise it is hard to search and read. Thank you.

                        Also: thanks for the file.

                        Here is a handrail that follows the Cloner Settings.

                        Let me know if that works for you.

                          Hello! I see two problems in this solution; I'd like to make the handrail one single piece, like made of concrete. And I need to make another group of stairs shorter in the same cylinder. Besides I see many elements! So, is there no good option to make it simple, like the first sample I enclosed with helix & sweep? Thanks again!

                            Hi Javier,

                            The setup was designed to follow the staircase in case of a change.

                            That is no problem; here is the simplest way to create it, but any change on the stairs needs attention on its own.

                              The other one seemed too complex for me! Thanks a lot! That's done with it!
