i think there may be a model of a spiral stari case, Rember the lighthouse in the single player, look in the wasteland fodler for it.

If there is no model, then make them lik normal stairs, only rotate, it'll take a while.

The arch tool is good for this job actaully, and the stair case in the
light house was brushes I bleieve, just make the arch a full 360 and
give it appropriate with and "add height" options.

quick and dirty spiral stair.

Make an 8 sided cylinder. (I found that 164 units works
good) <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> Use the clip tool to cut it into 8 pieces. (4 cuts) <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>

Ungroup the 8 parts.

Select all

Unselect one of the bits

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p></o:p>

Use tools ? transform ?move

Z axis ?16

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p></o:p>

For a spiral down to the right unselect the next one clockwise.

For a spiral down to the left unselect the next one counterclockwise.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p></o:p>

Use tools ? transform ?move

Z axis ?16

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p></o:p>

Repeat until you reach the last bit.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p></o:p>

Give them a center poll. (cylinder of 16 worked)

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p></o:p>

Select the entire mess and do a tools group.

If you need more hight just stack them.

done.

(hey... i had an answer!)
