    Lightbulb Monolithic Stairs

    Please please please can we the factory fix smooth underside monolithic stairs.

    I've had this problem sent to support and the response from the development team was:

    "Thank you for choosing Autodesk Subscription. Here is the recommended resolution to your Support Request:

    I just got a reply from the developer. He said that monolithic stairs can have smooth bottom only if all risers belong to the same ruled surface. From practical standpoint it is pretty close to saying “all treads are absolutely identical”. Run tool definitely satisfy this rule, sketched stairs most likely not. This is a limitation we can not lift. "

    WE CANNOT LIFT? DOES THAT MEAN IT WILL NEVER BE FIXED? This seems very odd as it is possible to create a family to make such stairs with a smooth underside and they usually aren't really that complex geometry. Surely there must be a method of making this process automatic?

    What do you think?

    Some of the developers are ESL (including those for whom mathematics is their first language )

    I think we just need some clarification on the problem or the limitations of the software.
