It may be desirable not to scratch any cheeks on cheek stairs. In this case, this button is clicked to remove the relevant cheeks. When the corresponding cheek is clicked with the left mouse button, the cheek is lifted (hidden).

Show all cheeks

Click this button if you want to show the hidden cheeks again.

Construction method

One of the straight, folded, bridge board and ramp type stair systems is selected by clicking with the left mouse button.

Riser parameters

D1 is the step covering nose length, D2 is the riser covering thickness, D3 is the step covering thickness. If covering is not wanted, these values ​​are entered as zero.

Stair cheek parameters

LK1 and LK2 determine the bridge board height. It is shown on the figure. The thickness parameter is the bridge board thickness.

Stair ID

The name of the stair is entered.

Stair elevation

The lower point of the stairs is the elevation measured from the floor base.

Baluster face count

The number of baluster surfaces determines the count of railing vertical surfaces (railing section). If the count of baluster surfaces is 4, the parapet cross section becomes square.

Don’t write step numbers after

The digits after the digit number entered here are not numbered on the stair.

Draw section line

If it is wanted to draw a section line on the stair, it is marked.

1st and 2nd cover line

These are the parameters that determine how the lines showing the coatings on the stair will be drawn in the plan. Par1 and Par2 are the lengths of the pavement lines on the right and left sides of the stair. If the full option is selected, the cover line is drawn from one side of the stair to the other. If Proportional is selected, it is drawn according to the ratio of the entered Parameter 1 and Parameter 2 lengths to the stair width. If fixed length is selected, it is drawn as the length of Parameter 1 and Parameter 2.

Definition

The stair is the definition line. Replaceable. However, it does not have any effect on the stair. Only the definition has changed.

Stairs area name

When the down arrow button on the right of the box is clicked, the area list opens. Each area here represents a stair flight. If the stair consists of a single flight, there is only one flight in the list. The parameters here are set separately for each stair flight (area).

Calculate using step count

The required count of steps for the relevant area (stair flight) is entered in the right box. The flight length and height are specified and the step width and riser height are automatically calculated according to the entered number and written in the relevant boxes.

Calculate using riser

The required riser height is entered in the box to the right. The entered riser height is kept constant. The step width and the number of digits are automatically calculated depending on the entered digit height and written in the relevant boxes.

Calculate using tread

The wanted step width is entered in the box to the right. In this case, by keeping the step width constant, the riser height and the count of steps are automatically calculated according to this value and written in the relevant boxes.

Top tread is at ceiling

If this option is checked, the count of risers will be as much as the value of the determining parameter. For example; If the number of steps determining parameter is 7, there will be 7 berths on the related branch. This means that the number of digits is 6. There is also the 7th step, but this step is at the floor level where the landing or staircase meets. If the option is not checked, the number of risers, the number of steps is one more than the determining parameter value. That is, if the number of steps is 7, there will be 8 berths on the relevant branch. In this case, the number of digits will also be 7. The last step will be below the landing by one pier height.

Adjust height of first/last riser according to the stair cover

If covering is used on the stair, the appropriate option is selected to adjust the riser heights by taking the covering thickness into consideration. Height adjustment according to the cover can be made in the first step on some flights and on the last step on some flights.

Unskewed riser count at start

The step where the balancing will begin on the rotating stairs is determined here. For example; If 2 is entered, no offset is made for the two initial digits. From the third step, balancing (rotating steps) is started.

Unskewed riser count at end

It is the parameter that determines at which step the balancing (rotating steps) will end in rotating stairs. For example; If 2 is entered, balancing ends at the third from the last step. No balancing is made for the last two digits.

Minimum tread run

While balancing, how much the minimum step width can be is entered in this box. It can be intervened if the nonlinear balancing method is chosen. User cannot interfere when fixed and linear balancing methods are selected.

Angle

It is the slope of the stair. It is automatically calculated and written in this box. The user cannot intervene. Stair flight length and height vary depending on the step and the dock.

Constant balancing method B+2R

Refers to the stride length. Here B represents the step width, R stands for the height of the riser. Automatically changes when B or R changes.

Linear balancing method B-R

Refers to comfort. B is the step width, R is the riser height. Automatically changes when B or R changes.

Nonlinear balancing method B+R

Refers to security. B is the step width, R is the riser height. Automatically changes when B or R changes.

Ricer numbers placement

It is decided where the stair step numbers will be written by choosing one of the options of left, right or next to the line of travel arrow.

The Font Settings dialog appears when the font button to the right of these options is clicked. From this dialog, the font and text effect are selected for the step writing.

Offset X/Y

X offset is used to shift the numbers horizontally and Y Offset vertically. Values ​​can be positive or negative.

Angle

The angle of the step numbers are entered. When the angle is zero, the numbers are parallel to the steps. If the stair is turned, the writings also rotate with the stair. However, if the Global Angle option is selected, global angles are taken into account. Regardless of the angle of the stair, the angle of the posts will be the angle written here.

Height

Step is the height of the text.

Section line

If the box is checked, the section line is drawn on the relevant stair area (flight) according to the entered parameters. If not marked, the section line is not drawn.
