Stair Styles
There are no naming conventions for stair styles. In general the name should
simply indicate the overall purpose or stair type and possibly include the
primary structure, material or construction of the stair.
Example Stair Style Names:
Example NameStair Style Description
Steel - HousedSteel stairs with a housed stringer.
Ramp - Concrete + CurbStair style configured to act as a concrete
ramp with stringers configured to act as
curbs.
Best Practices for Stair Styles:
■ Consider carefully the ramifications, pro and con, of allowing the landing
extension settings and stair component settings to vary amongst stairs of
the same style. Turning these options off makes them “hard coded” to the
style. Turning them on makes them merely defaults to be applied during
the creation of a stair, but able to be overridden.
■ When a style is assigned to a custom stair created from linework, the
stringer offsets specified in the style definition will be calculated from the
lines that you select for the stringer locations.
■ Landing extensions that are defined in the stair style will be ignored when
creating a custom stair from linework.
Stair Winder Styles
Winder styles can be applied to stairs with the “Turn type” set to either “1/4
Turn” or 1/2 Turn.
Stair Winder Styles Naming Conventions:
The stair style name should indicate the Winder type, followed by specifics
as to any tread or riser controls:
<Winder type> - <Optional control parameter>...
