      Great. So now you need to be able to combine a spiral and straight which is what I need right now--A 180 spiral then straight to the top).

        Yes Robert - that is the plan.
        However, Next will be quarter and half landings.
        Then I think I should add posts and balusters.

        Straight treads combined with curved need the following options.

        1. straight treads at top of inside stringer

        2. straight treads at bottom of inside stringer

        3. straight treads at top of outside stringer

        4. straight treads at bottom of outside stringer

        Also need to look at notching points - where stair goes from beside a wall and then opens up.

                    Hello Garry

                    First Your server is on Limit
                    I cant buy your great Stair plugin
                    but i can translate for you to German

                    Need little help with the following Strings
                    What exactly does:
                    Progressive Flare
                    Flare Count
                    The current translation is complete except for these strings

                      Roland,

                      Send me your user ID and I will extend your trial.

                      This is a progressive flare - where the treads at the center get progressively larger.

                        Just wanted to register my satisfaction with this plugin. I bought it to help me generate a set of half-spiral stairs for a client project.

                        The plugin itself is well-done and works flawlessly. But what really impressed me is how well Garry K supports it. He has been tremendously helpful in showing me how to generate output from it that it was not specifically designed to do. (in this case a single central steel stringer)

                        And with every query —and there were several in my case!— his replies were prompt and on-point. Really a pleasure to deal with.

                        Highly recommended to anyone who needs to resolve a spiral stair conundrum.

                                      Hi everybody :

                                                         I tried running Stair Maker, Version 1.0.23, and I noticed that it didn't have the OKAY button.  Suggestions ?

                                        Stair Maker's current version is 1.0.32
                                        Are you sure you installed 1.0.23

                                        What does it say at the top of the form?

                                          Hi Gary -

                                          I'm wondering if you're planning on adding L and U-shaped stair options to this plugin? It would seem a relatively easy thing, especially compared to what you've already created for spiral stairs.

                                          I've been following your progress on Cabinet Maker, so I realize that you've likely not had a lot of time to devote lately to Stair Maker. It would be great if I could (eventually) use it for all the stairs I model — the majority of which are either U-shaped or L-shaped.

                                          Any word for future development for this one?

                                            Doug - I do have plans to get back into StairMaker.

                                            L shaped and U shaped stairs are part of my plans (using simple landings). There will probably be additional parameters. I'm also thinking about including a notching point for either side of the stair. Example the top of the stair is between 2 walls and the stair widens after the notching point, possibly changing from housed to sawtooth after the notch.
