Creating Basic Stage Stairs

Stairs or steps are usually required to provide access to the stage from the floor. The steps are automatically adjusted to meet the top of the stage. The basic stage stairs are based on the Stage Steps tool (see Inserting Stage Steps).

To add basic stage stairs:

1. Select Event Design > Create Stair.

The Create Stair dialog box opens.

Click to show/hide the parameters.

Parameter	Description
Width	Specify the width of the staircase
Style	Set the type of stair to create: Simple, Self-Adjusting, Frame Free-Standing, Solid Free-Standing, or Open Free-Standing
Class	To control appearance, select a class from the list of classes present in the drawing, or create a new class. Leave the stair in the None class to set the remaining attributes from the dialog box.
Fill Color	Sets the fill color for the stair
Pen Color	Sets the pen color for the stair
Texture	Select the stair texture from a library or the current file

2. Click OK.

3. Click once in the drawing to set the stair position. Click again to set the stair rotation.

Stair parameters can be edited in the Object Info palette; see Inserting Stage Steps.
