Stair height doesn't match walls.

drake1nightfire

SO, i was trying to make a two floor house but the stairs do not go high enough to reach the second floor. Any help with this? I did make the stairs as tall as possible 59"..

So long as you only want straight stairs the program is very adjustable. You need to adjust the number of treads and the riser height to match the second story floor.

Typical the floor is appx 9 ft from the 1st story floor

Also, remember that the stairs are 1 step lower than the floor.

Please explain where to find the number of treads; on the normal program the options for the stairs does not include a number. The only options availaible are Stairway Width, Stairway Height, Tread Rise, Tread Run and Tread Nose which are all size, The manual/tutorials does not explain the re;ationship between the options and how to get them to match the wall height. Also there is no option for adding railings.

Please can someone help.

The stair height can be adjusted on the Stairs Properties panel in the "Stairway Height" field.

Doing as you say makes the stairs longer so it ends going through the back wall and not up in height

Sorry managed to solve it. It is a combination of increasing Stair height and Tread Rise.

Thanks for the suggestion any way.
