In a flat, if part of the shape is cut by the stairs or lift, how is that part treated?
The flat is the part you actually enter and use. Once inside, your movement and work happen only in that area, so the part you cannot access, taken by the stairs, lift or the neighbouring flat, is a cut in your flat.

Do the same staircase rules apply in a flat?
Yes, the same rules apply to stairs in a flat; nothing is different.
How do we mark a flat whose South-West and North-East corners are cut?
Mark it the usual way: find the centre and north, place the chakra on the centre and mark the devtas. To divide the bands, take every corner of the shape, draw lines from the centre to each, apply the ratios and join the points; a similar shape forms inside. The more irregular the shape, the more complicated the work, and software makes it easier.
If a lift opens directly into the house, does it work as the main door?
A door is an opening with a threshold (dehleez) and a frame (chaukhat). Energy does come in through a lift, but only while the lift is there and open; when it is closed or has gone down, no energy comes from it, so it does not act like a proper main door.
In a flat, if the stairs are in the anti-clockwise direction of the house, is it a vedh?
It is a dosh, not a vedh. Stairs carry the geopathic currents from below up the building; a current moving clockwise grows while one moving anti-clockwise is lost, just as spinning clockwise and anti-clockwise feel very different.
In my building the flat entrance faces an electric shaft just before the lift, the same on all 25 floors. What should be done?
Remedies for a lift or shaft in the wrong place are taught in the diploma. The same lift falls in a different zone for each flat, in the NE for some and the NW for others, so the remedy depends on the zone it falls in.
Is it a dosh if the lift is to the side of my flat door rather than directly in front?
No. A lift creates dwar vedh only when it is exactly in front of the main door, where it obstructs luck and delays work. Its remedies are taught with the other remedies.
