Hi Andrew,
Here are your files.
I hope you have fun building it.
If you can take some photos we would love to see how things go.
All the best,
Ness
Hi Ness,
Michel kindly picked up my last query and made a small change to deal with it, and then made an improvement which I would like to adopt.
It is all in the attached .stair file and I’d be pleased if you could regenerate the pdfs and the dxf file as before.
I imagine this will be the last iteration. I certainly hope so.
Cheers
Andy

Hi Andy ,
the only thing that changed is in the angles of the stringers. Very small change . Also the height of a post has changed but this is not changing any crucial dimension. The lenght of the banisters has also adapted to the new situation but it remains the same stair in the same volume.
personaly I prefer version 4 attached. You have to choose. There I changed the right stringer on the first flight to curved as also the handrail. Don’t worry as this is a very short stringer in reality it remains straight but the result looks better as the stringer as some firm base on the floor and the next advantage is that all banisters from both flights have now the same dimensions. So it is up to you now.
Ness is the person to provide you the needed documents. As he requested post the file that you take as final (v3 or v4 ) and request the docs.
Have a nice build 😉
regards
Michel
Hi Michel,
if you are confident that that has not changed anything else, could I please ask you to regenerate the pdfs and the dxf file from your new version. I do not need the pdfs for the templates.

Hi Andy ,
This is because you chosed the stringer to be straight per part . I changed it to straight and now all are equal

Hi Ness,
Thanks for that. I have printed the pdfs and am busy checking what I can. I think that, assuming the basic design is correct, ie every fits together, then I will be able to get what I need for marking out from CAD.
The first thing to strike me is that it appears that the handrail over the upper right stringer does not run parallel to the stringer. If you look at the banister lengths, you’ll see they reduce from 864.4mm to 833.9mm. I can’t think of another explanation for it. Why would that happen?

Hi Andrew,
Here is the DXF plan and PDF workshop document.
The best way to verify dims is to use CAD to measure the DXF plan.
You’ll also have to load the DXF files into CAD to add dimensions to mark up your parts.
To make sure we process the correct version of your project, when you have the correct design please post the final StairDesigner file with the explicit request for processing, as this will be last full set of plans we can send you.
All the best,
Ness
Hi Ness,
It did need more attention than anticipated. That’s true but I think you know that I will need both dxf file and pdfs to be able to complete the stair.
As we have seen already, it was not easy to validate the stair without reference to the generated documents. i am hoping that Michel and I have now thrashed it out to the point where it will be right. I can check that with reference to the PDFs.
As far as setting out the work is concerned, I will not be using templates. so I need sufficient measurements. I don’t see them in the PDFs and so I suppose I will have to load a dxf file into a CAD program and learn how to use that to calculate all the measurements I need.
Please send them as soon as you are able.
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andrew,
We only send the complete set of manufacturing drawing once for a each stair file so please make sure that your project is as you want it before requesting them.
In your case we have already sent a set of drawings but as your project is complex and requiring quite lot of tweaking, I’ll make an exception and offer you one more full set of drawings.
If you need to verify dimensions I can send you either a 2D DXF file or the PDF workshop document, please tell me which you would like.
All the best,
Ness
Hi Michel,
OK, if that is how it works then OK. It means that the long length of flight #2 is 3089mm plus 30mm nosing, plus 30mm of face plate which is 3149mm, which is the space we have to fill.
I have changed the upper and lower recess on the link from step 15 to newel to 5mm as elsewhere.
Could you regenerate the drawings and I will check it again.
Cheers
Andy
