Re: Open Staircase Not Displaying Properly

@sreed12 

Well, this one turned out easier than I expected.  The platform underneath the stairs was the cause of the invisible stairs.  But I was able to make it stop doing that.

So, what I did was this.

1 - Delete the platform.  As soon as the platform disappeared, the stairs became solid again from the 2nd floor.  This left a hole in the foundation that I could see the ground through.  The stairs and fences stayed put.  

2 - Close the hole by moving the foundation together back to front so it is a continuous floor underneath the stairs.  Back is the side with the top of the stairs.  This wipes out the fences on 3 sides.

3 - Put another platform under the stairs.  Raise it another click or two until the bottom of the stair ends on the platform then 1 click down so the stairs go to the floor.

4 - Add the fences, floor tile and platform trim back and put in the light you had between the stairs.

And you should have what you want without the stairs becoming invisible from the 2nd floor.

Btw, really nice build.  I might just load it into my main save.  🙂

Hope this helps.

    @CGrant56 Omg THANK YOU! You are a true hero lol. The build is fixed and I am way too happy.  I can't believe I didn't think to mess around with the platforms even though I knewwww they were glitchy! 

    And I'm glad you like the build! I can't wait to finally play with it 🙂

    Glad I could help.  

    Yes, platforms seem to be the cause of many issues in build and with a lot of them like your invisible stairs, it's not always evident as to what is causing a certain problem.  But yours is fixed so both of us learned a little something along the way.

    Have fun playing your lot!  🙂
