Hi Bernard,

I suggest that you sign up for full membership and use the detailed documentation on stairs in our eBooks library.

You find lot’s of information as well as how to join posts to strings and videos on how to do it.

With full membership we’ll also send you working documents for your projects.

For the posts don’t hesitate to change the size of the posts, it’s easy and fast with StairDesigner.

All the best,

Ness

Hi Bernard,

Sorry ot say but StairDesigner doesn’t draw the assembly details of the cut strings to the post.

We are working on the next version 7 that will go more into these details.

For the time being you have to add manually the cut string to post assembly details.

Depending on the way you want to build the stair you can either edit the DXF, manually draw the assembly onto the full size templates, or directly onto the boards when marking up.

You stair looks good, you might consider a few adjustments, like aligning the cut strings and handrails to assemble in the middle of the posts, reducing the step housing depth to 15 to 20 (30mm is a lot of wood to rout out).

At 115×115 your posts are very big section you could consider limiting to 90×90 or less…..

Otherwise great job.

All the best,

Ness
