    Stairwell

    In taking an overall view of the inside of this room, I notice my stairs to the basement are missing, I have the well opening labeled as OPEN BELOW. The stairs show in plan view (1st floor) Any Ideas that will get them to show? As you can see, its a bit drafty....I've noticed this a few times in other plans but never paid any mind to it , only cause at the time it did'nt matter. Now it does. Anyway , any suggestion welcome.
    See Attached.

    Thanks much Al.. That worked great.....Any Idea why it doesn't show when the "Render Floor Overview" Tool is used? Just curious.

    Doug, It did not work because the render floor overview tool is only designed to show what is contained on a particular floor. The stairway that you are referring to is on the lower floor. Anything below the floor platform is considered to be on the lower floor. Hope this clears it up for you, Bob
