Also, if you're roombrushing individual steps, you're doin it wrong.

Well, teach me Mr wise guy!! (please?) :)

For a straight line flight of steps, I rotate the room brush on its side so that its long face aligns with the slope of the stairs and then sink it below the steps and above the ceiling ... I don't know if there is an easier way.

:laff:
This is the room brush that goes over the terrain brushes that make up the steps, however you decide to do that.

(

stair rail objects on the other hand could be useful, balsters, rails and what not as a single object. there are some issues with the physics models, but its possible.

I suppose this whole " roombrushing the stairs" is a joke??
if not, this looks to me like: why do it easy if there is a difficult way..
a stair... use a solid wedge ( in a room that is allready roombrushed) and carve out with airbrushes the size of the actual stairs.. -> roombrushed stairs..

If you room brush a cube and then add in the stairs you end up with sound transmitting where it does not belong. Sure on the lowest level with nothing below the stairs and nothing above, you can do it that way, but with flights of stairs you can get too much sound transmission between flights. IMHO.

Depends on the layout, but yes, that's the reason. If you had 5 steps in a street, leading up to someone's front door with nothing underneath, it wouldn't be a problem. If you've got a stairwell that holds three flights of stairs over each other, connecting four floors, you'd need to think very carefully about roombrushing. It's such a pain you can only have cuboid roombrushes. Some wedges or cylinders would be very useful in certain situations.
