In my home I need to basically cut rectangular holes for both my basement stairs and upper level stairs. The rest over each other like a stairwell. I plan on making custom OBJ stairs to import as regular furniture. I will use invisible box shapes to do the actual floor/ceiling cutting, imported with the stairs attribute. The ceiling holes are different lengths than the stairs themselves. I guess SVG statements would work but custom sized boxes and regular OBJ staircase models (non-stairs) seems the easier route for the same result. But I want to understand one aspect. Do objects set as stairs affect walls or other objects? I'm assuming they don't but want to verify I'm okay with my plan. Thanks ahead of time for any tips or answers.
For context here's a real photo of my steps from the main level to the upper bedroom level. I'm thinking about that angled ceiling above half the steps. Once a hole is cut from the bottom of the sloped ceiling to the wall at the top of the steps at the bottom of the photo, I plan to add a sloped box or wedge there plus a box vertical wall. The bathroom closet is above and behind that.
