Specifying Stair Display at Different Levels
1 The following procedure provides an example of how to specify the display of stair components at different
levels in a stair tower.
Create a U-shaped stair, 5’-0” (1520 mm) wide and 12’-0” (3650 mm) high to represent the lobby stairs.
2 Create a second U-shaped stair, 3’-8” (1120 mm) wide and 10’-0” (3050 mm) high, and locate it 12’-0”
(1520 mm) above the lobby stairs.
3 Create a third U-shaped stair, 3’-8” (1120 mm) wide and 10’-0” (3050 mm) high, and locate it 10’-0” (3050
mm) above the second set of stairs.
The following illustration shows how the stair tower should appear with added floor slabs in a 3D view:
