I am trying to draw site stairs with L shaped risers, see attached image.
If I draw them natively in 2012 the stair disappears in plan, section, elevation and 3d. Straight risers work but L shaped do not.

The same exact thing works fine in 2011. Upgrading the stairs to 2012 sort of works. As soon as you edit the attached levels, direction, etc. things go all weird again. That and they still don't look right in 3d. It looks like something is cutting them, but there is nothing there and the view is not cropped.

I am using the ootb default template. I even tried using the 2011 default template and upgrading to 2012 with the same results.

Has anybody run into this? Is it a bug, or whats going on here?

I just tried similar stairs in 2011 and it did the same weird cut in 3D. Not sure what's going on but I'm thinking it's not a 2012 issue by itself. They do look fine in plan view, though.

However I just changed the stairs from monolithic to a different type with stringers and they work fine in both plan and in 3D. Perhaps it has something to do with monolithic stairs.

Yeah I noticed the cut in 2011 after I posted. At least the plan and section work though. 2 stairs could be an option, but you cant even join stairs to make them look right....

I just tried a stair that I know I did on a project in 2010 and it looked weird, too. Unfortunately I don't have 2010 installed on this machine to try it there.

I'm not seeing this in 2011. I don't have 2012 installed yet to try it.

Stairs with stringers seem to work fine. It's monolithic stairs with no stringers that get messed up.

*edit* I just checked that project I did in RAC 2010 and I found that I did make each "piece" of the exterior stairs on each side of the patio area as separate stairs. So I assume that this issue was also present in 2010. You can easily override the lines where each stair meets at the corners to be invisible, so it will all look like a single stair. Bit of a workaround but not too bad.
