ArchLand00005.pngStair Settings: General Tab

1. Click the General tab to set the stair configuration.

Select a predefined configuration as the basis for the new stair. The general configuration can be based on either pre-defined default content symbols, custom default files in the user folder, a saved symbol in the current file, or by selecting a typical stair configuration.

     From the Symbol Selection list, select an initial stair configuration from the current file, custom defaults, or from the standard configurations. Once a selection has been made, a symbol selection list allows the symbol or predefined symbol to be selected from the file, custom, or default content (see Resource Libraries).

     Click Select Standard Configuration to select an initial stair configuration that most closely matches the type of stair to create. The Select a Stair Configuration dialog box opens; select one of the configurations. If there are any current stair parameters that should be saved and transferred to the new stair, select the category or categories from Transfer settings from current stair.

When the stair configuration has been selected, the available parameters on the tabs change to reflect the selection.

2. Once the initial configuration has been selected, change parameters as necessary to define the stair.

Minimum and maximum value ranges can be set for the stair angle, tread depth, riser height, and step length.

3. If you switch to another stair configuration after making parameter changes on any tab, the New Stair dialog box opens.

Switching to a new configuration loses any parameter settings that have already been made. The settings from the current stair configuration can be transferred to the new stair if needed. Select the settings to transfer, or click All to select all settings and None to deselect all the settings.
