Hannobal - Spiral Stairs

Description
Since I was a bit unhappy that staircases take up a lot of space on my ships and stations, and I found AViegarien's stairs a bit too narrow and compact for my purposes (excellent work though!). For lack of alternatives, I started to create my own stairs. I'm quite content with my result, so I decided I might as well share it with you. Here's the basic info:
  • 8 (very similar) square-cut variations:
    • with or without rails
    • blocky or curved bottom
    • overlap at the bottom or top
  • 8 (very similar) rounded variations:
    • with or without rails
    • overlap at the bottom or top
    • with or without a rounded window (also available as separate block)
  • designed to be compatible to the 2x1 vanilla stairs
  • fully supported mirroring
  • 2 construction models
  • 3 LOD models
  • recolorable
Note: The collision models are rather complex (up to 54 faces / 72 triangles), but with a more simple design (i.e. sloped planes) you could only walk on the outer edge of the stairs and I found that too inconvenient. So maybe don't use the stairs excessively.

Awesome stairs, but not working correctly now(((

this is the problem: https://i.imgur.com/iiGvKie.jpg
there are more than 10 shapes per block. If a block has more, the game now only loads that first 10 shapes. That way some of the stairs have non walkable steps

Is there any way to fix this without the original files? I miss this in my builds, not that it's glitchy / broken :/

Another observation for whom it may concern: walking downstairs works, while walking upstairs makes you stop at the end of the block at an invisible barrier. Have to switch on flight pack to cross.

Now full 3 years since last update. I think it is time someone fixes this as the author walked off, and repost as new mod

Still happen to be invisible until you hit with your nose on them, in close encounter they suddenly materialize. It's a shame this is not getting fixed.

Semme that one of the latest updates broke this great mod.
They a invissible until you stand on them. seems that gringind and welding them up again gets them back.
I think that some of the overlap also broke, cant walk up on some of the stairs
I hope it will be updated.

Great stairs. But they seem a bit unstable in visual consistancy. It can happen they vanish from view after I reload the save game. When you approach them very closely, they suddenly pop up again. Same when they are part of a blueprint - you don't see them or they just disappear and you have to repeat the building process, hoping they stay a little longer. Any idea what could cause the phenomenon?
