      The single most important thing currently missing is I think the 'nosing' - tread 'overlaps', required in all stairs... 😕

      True... 👍 Although for quick modelling purposes a basic stair would suffice unless of course you are doing Construction Docs.

        There must be ability to set up the net gap between railing posts .
        But that's a 'balustrade' tool not a stair tool ?
        The 4"/100mm sphere gap rule will then apply too...

        This plug-in generates some kind of primitive railing&posts system doesn't it?
        My local safety regulations demand <= 10cm net gap between posts so getting it automatically (not through additional plugins) would be really great.

          Yes, the railing and post system is premitive but I never intended it to be more and my intentions have not changed.

          Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

            Ok, the last post was sent at 2am this morning on my iPad so I didn't have the option to run the plugin....

            Sam, I wasn't aware you weren't in the industry so here's a quick glossary of terms which I expect is pretty universal.

            I've chosen to make an example of the U-shape in-situ stair as it covers most terms.
            [attachment=0:263t8gtv]<!-- ia0 -->Stairmaker.png<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:263t8gtv]

            My crude attempt at a Dialogue Box

            Stair Width: 2600
            Stair Height: 3900
            Flight 1 Width: 1200
            Flight 2 Width: 1200
            Tread Depth: 275
            Total No. or Risers: 24
            Riser Height: 162.5 [I expect this is a system variable that changes as No. of Riser input is changed. This gives the user a visual guide as to their final stair ratio...]
            No. risers to Landing: 12 [this locates the landing in the overall flight...]
            Rail Height: 900
            Rail Offset: 50

            Sam, Any chance of looking into this I posted a while back...?

            Many thanks, Andrew

              Please explain each input element, for who has no specialized terms knowledge
              For example, what is Risers2Landing? or Gap Run2Run, Step Depth, Riser Height,Tread Depth and so on...
              Thank you very much.

                Risers2Landing is the number of steps or risers going up to the landing of a U-shape stair.
                Gap Run2Run is the space between the sets of stairs in a U-shape stair.
                Step Depth is the front to back dimension of each step.
                Riser Height is the vertical distance between each step.
                Tread Depth is the thickness of the individual steps.

                    U, it is a little more than just changing the labels in the inputbox. Allowing a variable number of steps to/from the landing of U-shape stairs would require extensive re-write.

                        Hello,
                        It could be interesting to be able to create L shape also.

                        Regards,

                          That might be a simple add. I'll give it some thought.

                                    Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble here!

                                    I used the plugin once and it worked fine. But when I tried to use it again, it doesn't get past the Stair Type. I click my option and the screen just disappear and then nothing. Do you have any idea why that could be happening?

                                      I assume this happens regardless of which stair option is selected?

                                      Locate and delete the Stair Maker.txt file and try the plugin again.

                                      What Units system are you using, 1.00 or 1,00?

                                        I've been looking around for stair plug ins but could not find many. (1001bit but it does not contain L-shaped or quarter-turn stairs)
                                        TIG,would you mind posting some links to the plug-ins you referenced?

                                        Thanks a lot!
