Hi All,
What's the easiest way to take a tread (900x300x50mm) and pattern it up around a centre to create a spiral staircase ?
Thanks for your thoughts...

one way to do this is to make use or multibodies by a lin pattern of one and copy/move/rot each tread as reqd. join the bodies with a post extruded up the middle. you could of course reduce the work by making use of further patterns of say a 90deg section.
Create mate references to the mating entities of each step in the staircase. In example concentric for the center axis and coincient for the plane, where the steps contact each other. Then with ctrl-drag and smart mate you can easy mate the staircase.You can download example at

Good one. Nice use of mate references.
