Create New Stair, Bottom Stair Type is unavailable

Anonymous — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 01:29:23 GMT

Hi all,

Has this stair type been made redundant or is there another reason why I can't choose this option when creating a stair? (see screenshot)

Many thanks,

If you mean the very bottom one (custom stair) then you need to draw your fill and line of travel, select them then DESIGN menu > CREATE STAIR USING SELECTION.

Thanks Barry,

What about having selected an existing Custom Stair in a Project and not being able to edit any of the parameters when you open the stair settings dialog box and choose - edit stair

This is how the question actually came up.

Many thanks

You can't alter the landing width or the overall length or width as that would change the shape of your custom stair - and depending on the shape of your stair these values may mean nothing anyway.

But you should be able to alter all other values including the overall height (if you unlock it).
