to support the stairs.
- P – Sets the
play for the bolt considering oversize or tolerance.
- Z – Sets the
distance from inside of the radius at each end for slotted bolt hole. This is
the length of the straight portion of the slot made by the hole, not including
the rounded ends.
- X – Sets the
offset from the center of the tread in the X-direction.
- Y – Sets the
offset from the center of the tread in the Y-direction.

Settings for the support steps on the landing
platform.
- Stair – When
checked, inserts a support step on the stairs.
- S1 – Sets the
horizontal offset of the support step from the outside of the platform. A
positive value moves the support shape inwards from its initial insertion
point.
- S2 – Sets the
vertical offset of the support step. A positive value moves the support shape
down from its initial insertion point.

Platform
|
Settings for the support steps on the landing
platform.
- T – Sets the
typology of the platform.
The options for type of platforms are:
- NO – Places no

- S – Sets
Thickness of the platform. value determines the thickness of the grating/plate
used on the platforms

Flat step
|
When placing steps a plate is drawn at the end of
each step.
- A – Sets the
plate width. A
0 width is automatically adjusted
according to the size of the step selected, where the end support will be the
same as the tread/step.
- B – Sets the
plate height. Width of the end support for the tread/step. When placing steps a
plate is drawn at the end of each step. This value will determine the plate
Height.
- C – Sets
thickness of the end support for the tread/step. When placing steps a plate is
drawn at the end of each step. This value will determine the plate Thickness
- D – Sets the
horizontal distance from the edge of the end support to the outside edge of the
tread/step. Shifts the steps end plate horizontally by the amount entered.
- E – Sets the
vertical distance from the top edge of the end support to the top of the
