Standard Steps	Tread width – Sets the depth of the staircase steps. Hole location – Sets the distance of first hole from the top edge of the step. Plate depth – Sets the height of the staircase steps. Hole spacing – Sets the spacing of both mounting holes. That is the horizontal distance of the slotted hole to the first hole. Edge distance – Sets the distance of the holes from the upper edge of the steps. It defines the position of first hole from the front edge of the step. Hole dia. – Sets the hole diameter of the steps’ mounting holes. Slot length – Sets the length of the slotted hole. That is the distance of the axes of the rear oblong step hole. Nosing offset – Sets the offset of the staircase steps from the front edge of the staircase to the back. Negative values move the steps to the front. It is the horizontal movement of the step to the back of the stair.
Treads Built from Shapes	Shape Type – Sets the shape type for the shape steps (standard, user shapes, etc.) Resolution – Sets the resolution for the treads shape (Low, Normal or High) Shape Class – Sets the shape class or catalogue for the shape type.
