      Hi

      I am currently attempting to script a stair tread. I am finding it difficult because the 3d and 2d object previews will not work.
      So all I can do is constantly save, then go to the 3D window, then go back to the object etc etc etc

      How are the GS developers working?

      Any tips are greatly appreciated 🙂

      Hey Ben,
      I just saved a slab as a ‘stair tread component’ and can see the 3D preview with no problems.
      As I amend the script the preview changes.
      There was no 2D preview as it didn’t generate a 2D script.
      Do you have the correct subtype (“tread component”) selected?

      Hi Barry

      Try scripting a tread using STAIR_TREAD_GEOMETRY and the other globals.
      They all return 0

      I see, if you open a stair you get all the scripts for the various parts.
      But the 2D/3D previews for them don’t work.
      I wonder if that is because they don’t have any size parameters being passed on from the master stair.
