Stair - Handrail tab

Setting	Description
Create left/right rail	When checked, a handrail is added to the staircase. Left rail - allows creating rail along stairs at the left cheek, and Right rail - allows at the right cheek of the staircase.
Simplified display	When checked, the handrails are not modeled, but displayed in a wire frame as system lines.
Handrail connection	Specifies the type of connection for bolting of handrail and staircase cheek. Automatic – The program tries to determine the most suitable fastening. Vertical - The handrail is always bolted on the staircase cheek from above, independently of the settings in the used handrail template. By Side – The handrail is always bolted laterally on the staircase cheek, independently of the settings in the used handrail template. Individual – The settings in the handrail template are used.
Start Offset	Sets the offset value which moves the start of the handrail from the front edge of the staircase to the back. Negative values move the handrail to the front. In case of staircases without basic stair head, you can move the start of the handrail to a position where a bolt mounting is possible.
End Offset	Analogously to start offset, sets an offset value for the end of the handrail.
Side Offset	Sets an offset value that moves the handrail from the outer edge of the staircase to the outside. This permits you to mount the handrail outside the staircase on other shapes or on the wall.
Height Offset	Sets an offset value that moves the handrail from the upper edge of the staircase cheek to the top. This permits you to attach a grout or an individual fastening.
Side Offset	When set a positive value, a vertical connecting plate is inserted between plate and staircase cheek in case of lateral mounting. Used when the flats are selected as stringers.
Handrail Template	The template to be used for the handrail is picked from the selection list. This template describes the exact structure.
Edit handrail settings	Opens Handrail settings where the handrail structure (shapes, distances, etc.) is set or to edit the used handrail template. The selected template is active for the current handrail. Note: At staircases with handrail, this handrail will be created as structural object of its own. This permits you to construct and modify the handrail in detail independent of the staircase.
