     Hmm, that's a tight staircase! I would make the steps wider, and also, 
shouldn't the bars on the railing be in line?

     Nice image though, I like the textures.

Like Steve said, tight. To make room for the feet, the steps should be 
wedge-shaped towards the central pole.

I'm with Steve, nice textures, but the proportions and angles are wrong. The 
vertical supports and the capping spheres seem too large and the central 
column seems too small. I also think the steps need to taper in towards the 
centre. At the moment, the corner of step 6 would get you in the neck as 
soon as you put your foot on the first step. Good start though.

Regards,
Chris B.

I LOVE it!

Is that a one-off, or macro generated?

If you could put it in a macro so it's flexible, this would be a great 
addition to the library :)

I'm making some changes in this makro, so i'll post it when it will be finished.

It's maybe worth mentioning that V2 of the staircase macro already in the 
Object Collection does do spiral staircases (as well as straight runs). This 
of course doesn't prevent alternative macros being uploaded or updates being 
uploaded to add new styles.

Looks nice, but in real life it would be hard to use the hand rails, they 
are interrupted many times.
