Setting minimum and maximum values for stair geometry

When setting stair parameters, a geometry “envelope” can be set to specify the allowable value ranges for tread depth, riser height, step length, and stair angle. Setting these values can assist with creating proportional stair geometry that complies with standards.

During the initial phases of design, it may be convenient to temporarily disable the minimum/maximum restrictions by deselecting Use minimum/maximum values from the Stair Settings dialog box.

To set minimum and maximum stair parameter ranges:

From the Geometry pane of the Stair Settings dialog box, click Edit. The Min/Max Settings dialog box opens.

Click to show/hide the parameters.

Parameter	Description
Min./Max. Settings	Saves settings so they can quickly be applied again; see Using saved sets for stair settings
Values	Specify the minimum and maximum values for the tread depth, riser height, and step length. Additionally, set the maximum angle (steepness) for the entire stair. For fixed angle winder stairs, set the minimum tread depth value.
