Stairs and railings
Stairs
- Pick the Stair tool.
- Click where the stair starts, then click in the direction it climbs.
It rises to the next level in equal risers no higher than Max riser. Properties shows the number of risers, their height and the 2R + G comfort rule. Tick Fixed rise to type a height instead.
Turn on L-shaped for a landing: set after how many risers it comes and which way the stair turns.
In plan, a stair is drawn with its risers below the cut, a break line, the treads above the cut dashed, and a walking line with an arrow and UP. On the level it climbs to, the whole stair is drawn where its well lets you see it, with DN; the plan's View depth sets how far down it looks (see Views).
Note: A stair doesn't cut the slab above by itself. Draw a shaft for its stair well.
Railings
- Pick the Railing tool and click inside a stair: it gets a railing on both sides, following the flights and the landing. Or use Add railings in the stair's Properties.
- Or click the points of a path and click the last point again to finish.
Railings on a stair belong to it: they move with it and are deleted with it.
A railing's Top rail in Properties can take a profile from the library, such as the Handrail preset or one of your own.
