Stairs and Railings are improved further to ease scope of custom and specialized design:

Spiral and Winder Stairs

Stair representations in 2D drawings comply with China drafting standards, where:

  • On placement (lower) floor - shows the stair assembly up to cut plane (optional, show outline of stair assembly above)
  • On floor above placement floor - shows the treads that are above the cut line of the floor below
  • For multiple views of floor below - uses a fixed distance from upper floor, set on the stair element
