Stair Properties

Activates the Stair Properties Dialog. You can use this dialog to specify additional stair properties, such as material and material grade, which you cannot set on the ribbon.

Select Top Edge

Select the reference plane or edge that defines the top stair elevation. The stair is placed on the To Do List if this edge is deleted after the stair has been placed. You can select:

  • A Smart 3D object.

  • The edge or surface of a Smart 3D object.

  • The edge or surface of a Smart Interop Object.

Select Bottom Plane

Select the reference plane that defines the bottom elevation of the stair. This plane must be lower than the top edge that you selected. The reference plane can be flat or sloped up to 45 degrees. The stair is placed on the To Do List if this plane is deleted after the stair has been placed.

Select Reference Edge

Select a plane or edge from which to place the stair along the top edge. This input is optional. You can select:

  • A Smart 3D object.

  • The edge or surface of a Smart 3D object.

  • The edge or surface of a Smart Interop Object.

Select Position

Graphically define the location of the stair along the selected top edge.

Finish

Places the stair in the model.

System

Select the system to which the stair belongs on the Select System Dialog.

Type

Select the type of stair to place.

Name

Specify the name for the stair that you are placing.

Width

Specifies the width of the stair treads. This dimension does not include the width of the stringers and therefore is less than the overall width of the stairs.

Angle

Specifies the angle of inclination between the selected bottom plane and the stair stringers.

Pitch

Specifies the maximum allowable vertical distance between the stair treads. The actual distance is calculated by the software using the vertical distance between the top edge and the bottom plane and the stair angle. The actual distance is displayed in Actual Step Pitch.

Horizontal Offset

Specifies the distance between the outside edge of the stair and the selected reference edge or object.

Horizontal Offset - Struct Stairs

Vertical Offset

Specifies the offset between the top of the stair stringer and the selected top edge.

Vertical Offset - Struct Stairs

Side

Places the stair on the opposite side of the top edge.
