Stair Settings: Graphic Attributes Tab

The settings on the tab can be saved as a set and then loaded, replacing the current tab parameters.

1. Click the Graphic Attributes tab to specify the appearance of stair components.

Click to show/hide the parameters.

Parameter	Description
Attributes Styles	Saves and recalls styles from a saved set
View	Determines the view to apply the parameters to the stair; depending on drawing settings like layer scale and the document preference Hide details, the detailed or schematic view status is displayed
Detailed	Applies the graphic attributes to stairs in a detailed layer scale view
Schematic	Applies the graphic attributes to stairs in a schematic scaled view
Accept for all Views	Applies the graphic attributes to stairs in all views (detailed and schematic)
Graphic Attribute Settings	Lists all geometry and text parameters that have graphic attributes settings, divided by 2D and 3D attributes. Click the disclosure arrow to reveal further parameters under certain categories. Each category’s current class, fill, pen, line style, line thickness, opacity, and if applicable, texture is displayed. Double-click a line to set attributes. To control appearance and visibility, select a class from the list of classes present in the drawing, or create a new class. Select <Stair Class> to place the attributes in the same class as the stair object.
2D Walk Line and Marker Attributes	In addition to the class, pen, fill, and other “typical” attributes, the walk line and markers have specific parameters The Double Line, Oval, and Filled Arrowhead marker styles are available especially for stair walk lines to meet DIN requirements
Start Marker	Sets the graphics for the beginning of the walk line arrow that indicates the Up direction of travel on the stair, from the bottom tread, or start, of the stair
End Marker	Sets the graphics for the end of the walk line arrow that indicates the Up direction of travel on the stair, at the top, or end, of the stair
Fit to tread depth	Fits the line end marker of the walk line to the depth of the tread
Set Class Style	Sets each attribute (fill, pen, line style, line thickness, opacity, and texture) of all stair components to the “By Class” setting. The attributes are then controlled by the class assigned to the component. (See Setting Class Attributes.) To set only the opacity by class, select the Use Class Opacity option when defining the graphic attributes for each category.
Remove Class Style	Removes the “By Class” setting for each attribute of all stair components. The attributes are then controlled by the individual attribute settings made for each component.
Apply to all Stairs	Applies all the attribute settings of the current stair to all stairs in the file, including symbol definitions and stairs that may be within groups. Use caution when selecting this option, as it affects all stairs in the file.

2. The graphic attributes of each stair part are listed. Double-click an item to edit it.

An attributes dialog box with the name of the item is displayed. See The Attributes Palette for information on setting attributes.

3. Set the attributes and click OK to return to the Graphic Attributes tab.
