Im making a water tank and to its side i want to make spiral stairs. I have tried 2 method but did not work for me both. I have add a spiral curve so that a single stair can rotate along the curve with the dupliframes. Then i added a array modifier and empty to control. I got this result the stairs not matching the side walls. And i want the result of the curve rotating in that way i want my stairs to be curved. Any suggestion

New result with empty enter image description here

A suggestion is to use the Screw modifier for the railing walls & keep the array for the steps. You can control the height of the screw with an empty and the diameter either by scaling in object or edit mode.

  • $\begingroup$ The screw modifier would deform the steps - which is why I kept it separate. You can eventually 'Apply' and join the meshes if necessary. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Done. If you extend the spiral up more - you will have to adjust the z-height of the steps. $\endgroup$
