Stairs (S82)
Stairs (S82) creates straight stairs with optional upper and lower landings. The stairs consist of stringers, possible landings and the actual steps. The stairs are created between two picked positions that define the upper and lower positions of the sloping stringers, taking into account the flooring thickness. The lower position defines the top level of the lowest step and the upper position the top level of the topmost step.

Stair dimensions
Description | Default | |
---|---|---|
1 |
Maximum height between the steps. |
230 mm The default value for the step height is calculated as follows: (Z*220)/(Z+220) mm, where Z is the height of the stairs. |

Bottom landing length You need to define the length to create the landing. |
Bottom landing beam is not created. |
3 |
Bottom flooring thickness. Vertical distance from the lower picked point to the stringer top level. |
30 mm |
4 |
The distance the steps are inset between the stringers. |
20 mm |
5 |
Top flooring thickness Vertical distance from the upper picked point to the stringer top level. |
30 mm |
6 |

Parameters tab
Use the Parameters tab to control the stringer rotation, mirroring, position in plane, step profile, and top and bottom step creation.
Option | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
Stringer rotation |
Define the stringer rotation around its axis on the work plane. |
Top |
Mirroring |
Select whether the stringer is mirrored. |
|
Position in plane |
Define the stair position on the work plane. |
Right |
Offset |
Define the beam offset for the selected position in plane. |
0 |
Step profile |
Select the step profile. The step types are more precisely defined in the steps.dat file. The file defines the form of the step, and the place and size of the holes in the stringers. Each line in the file describes one step type. The actual step is created as a contour plate. |
|
Create top step |
Select whether the top step is created. |
Yes, top step is created. |
Create bottom step |
Select whether the bottom step is created. |
Yes, bottom step is created. |
Create assembly |
Select whether to create an assembly that includes all the parts of the stairs or stringers. With All, the steps are welded to the stringers with invisible weldings and an assembly drawing of the stairs can be created. |
