Deforming the Stair

The deform stair command is used to create different stair shapes by holding a stair at certain points and deforming it. The stair can only be deformed at the deformation points. These deformation points are located on the stair contour. When the points are displaced, the shape of the stair changes accordingly.

Usage Steps

For stair deformation:

• Click the Deform Stair icon in the ribbon menu .

• The Stair Deformations toolbar will be opened.

• On the current stair drawing, the nodes where you can deform the stair will be marked.

• Move the mouse cursor over the node you want to move and click the left button.

• Drag the mouse. The clicked node will move with the mouse. With the moved node, the stair will also be deformed and its shape will change.

• Move the mouse to the node you want and click the left button. The relevant node will be moved to the clicked place.

It is possible to deform the stairs in this way and adapt them to the required geometry.

By creating new nodes for stair deformation, you can make a node deformation.

• Click the Add Primary Node icon from the Stair Deformations toolbar .

• Place the mouse cursor at a suitable place in the drawing area above the stair outline and left click.

• The ideCAD will create a new node at the point you clicked.

The Delete Primary Node command is used to delete the nodes created with the Add Primary Node command on the stair.

• Click the Delete Primary Node icon from the Stair Deformation toolbar .

• Move the mouse cursor over one of the nodes on the stair.

• The ideCAD will delete the node you clicked on.

If the stair is deformed using the previously deleted node, when the node is erased, the deformed point will automatically return to its original position.

To restore the stair you changed using Stair Deformation:

• Click the Cancel Stair Deformation icon from the Stair Deformations toolbar .

• Click the stair you want to restore with the left mouse button.

• Stair deformations will be canceled, the stair will return to its previous state.
