Straight Stairs (3-D SE)

"Civil Engineering" docking window" > Steel Engineering > Stairs+Railings > Stairs

Straight stairs have only straight steps. The steps have a rectangular entrance surface, the stair start is of the same size in the tread line, at the internal stringer and at the external stringer.

Straight stairs can be generated with or without utilisation of a stairwell contour.

The staircase is fitted into a stairwell, which requires an appropriate sketch for the stairwell contour in the drawing. The sketch enables you to position the staircase in the stairwell and of determine the stair start and stair end of the staircase. First create the stairwell contour using the functions of the Sketch tab.

Regarding width and length of the sketch you should note the following:

If you do not want to use a stairwell contour, activate the Without stairwell option in the Stairwell boundary area of the Settings: Straight stairs tab. The fitting point of the staircase is then set into the origin of the World CS. You can freely select this point when you fit the staircase.

 

Proceed as follows to generate the staircase:

  1. Activate the Stairs function, The dialogue window for stairs is displayed.
  2. On the Straight stairs tab, specify the stair parameters. These are:
  1. Activate the Settings: Straight stairs tab and select
  1. Once you have competed your settings, re-activate the Straight stairs tab and exit the window with OK.
  2. Step 4. is skipped if you have selected the Without stairwell option on the Settings: Straight stairs tab. Otherwise HiCAD will prompt you to identify the stairwell sketch at the stair start or stair end.
  3. The possible Rise variants for the stairs are displayed. Select the desired variant.
  4. Click Fit to generate the stairs.
  5. If you work without stairwell boundary, you will now be prompted to specify a fitting point on the stairs, and the position of this point in the drawing.
