Here's a tutorial for a catwalk-the stairs on the side of a lift hill.

1) You only need these two types of pieces, the ammount doesn't matter:

2)Take one white connector, and 3 granite rods, and connect them like this:

3) Add 2 more white connectors:

4) When adding the next 4 granite rods, don't push them in all the way. You'll see why in the next couple steps:

5) Push these last two rods is slowly, so that they're flush with the other rods. They will be able to be pushed in past this point, but don't push them in that far:
Posted Image

6) Here you can see that they're all flush.

7) Make this piece. It will be a connector of the stairs to the lift:

8) Attach it like so (sorry, not the best pic):
Posted Image

9) Here you can see that you take the green piece not attached to an orange ladder piece, and attach it to the grey rods on the lift hill.

10) Work with the carwalk until you get a nice even curve:

11) An underneath view:

Hey I know your new but, dont bump a dead thread. It annoys all of the older members. A thread is considered 'dead' after ther has been no posts in it for over a month. You can see when the last post was in the left hand corner of everypost. Like this thread is over a year and a half old.
Thanks!

Fros013,

You once again bumped a thread that's been buried for 5 years... with a comment that does not add to the discussion... admins wont be happy about that.
