ArchLand00009.pngStair Settings: 2D Graphics Tab

The remaining four stair configuration tabs have a method of saving and recalling each tab’s settings or style. The settings on the tab can be saved as a set and then loaded, replacing the current tab parameters.

1. Click the 2D Graphics tab to set the stair’s 2D appearance on lower and, if desired, upper floors. The lower floor is always the floor where the stair has been placed. Selecting display options for the upper floor is optional; the upper floor representation is usually on another layer, and can be specifically selected here. These parameters apply only to the Top/Plan view, and do not affect the 3D appearance of the stair.

2. Click Stair Data for the lower, and optionally, the upper floor, to set the display of the 2D stair information text.

The Stair Data Settings dialog box opens. The stair configuration determines the number of available run or flight parameters. Stair data text appearance is set on the Graphic Attributes tab.

The position of the stair run and note text can be adjusted by moving its control point.
