Select Top Edge
Select the reference plane or edge that defines the top elevation of the ladder. If this edge is deleted after the ladder has been placed, the software will put the ladder on the To Do List.
Select Bottom Plane
Select the reference plane that defines the bottom elevation of the ladder. This plane must be lower than the top edge that you selected. The reference plane can be flat or sloped up to 45 degrees. If this plane is deleted after the ladder has been placed, the software will put the ladder on the To Do List.

Type
Select the type of ladder to place.
Name
Specify the name for the ladder that you are placing.
Width
Specifies the inside width of the ladder rungs. This dimension does not include the width of the side frames or safety hoop and therefore is less than the overall width of the ladder.

The default angle is 90 degrees.
Pitch
Specifies the maximum allowable vertical distance between the ladder rungs.
