Version 3.7.7 - 12.12.2024

Added a "Calculated Parameters" section to the edit menu of the stair module.
Added the ability to create L-Shape, U-Shape and Straight runs of stairs with landings.

With each landing being configurable, its possible to mix and match some of the landings:

First look at double landing configurations with 2-step and 3-step L-winders:

that looks like a lawsuit just waiting to happen lol

Since I've been focusing on updating the stair module the last week I've had quite a number of requests for various things. One request is the ability to flare out the bottom of the stairs. I can add in this functionality however to start with it would be very rudimentary (just a modification to the treads and risers as shown):

I'm not entirely sure how one would go about in-fill framing the flared portion, nor do I think there is any established or standard way to do this, I could be wrong. Any thoughts or ideas in this regard? I should probably ask first if this is something that you would all want or even need.

First look at an inverted T-Shape staircase with a straight and a curved flare:

Here is a quick study of the three types of tread extensions that are probably the most common. I can probably make this happen but it will have a number of new parameters in yet another sub-menu.

With the half and full round, the riser simply follows the nosing dimension, however with the square cut extension the amount of the riser extension could be independent.

For both the full and half round the radius of the curve is paramount but also the placement of the center of the curve in the Y direction (perpendicular to the stringers). The extension variable can be used for the Y-dir placement of the curve.

The round nosing makes things a bit interesting but that can also be dealt with by breaking things down into a piecemeal modeling algorithm and then using some boolean addition of solids.

The parameters shall be:

Tread Extension Options:

Extension Side: Both, Left, Right
Extension Type: Square, Round, Half Round
Tread Ext. Length: 10" etc... (this variable also sets Y placement of center of curve)
Riser Ext. Length: 8" etc... (only applies to the square ext.)
Extension Radius: 10" etc... (only applies to full or half round extension)

I never get a day of rest, maybe after this update I'll move back to the Floor plugin...

If I enable some turn outs and volutes I will need to adjust for these but also I need to provide some additional parameters so one can fine tune the placement of the handrail and its termination:
