Groove in string staircase

Unread post by Onink »

As Im trying to create a spiral staircase I run into several problems.

Here 's my next one:

I want to create a groove in the string of the staircase. See picture:

So far so good. But when I create a fillet of 150mm on the upper angle of the string, I can't make the groove anymore, it doesn't work and says "non manifold - shape locally without thickness"

Can anyone tell what to do to get it right?
The second time, you will build it faster!

Hi Onink,
Try with a fillet of 149.99.
The problem can be that with 150 fillet the corner of the groove is coincident with the face of the fillet.
