Hi Jean,

You can see the overall dimensions just by selecting the flights and see the lengths in the properties screen or double click on the outside of the stair to enter the editing mode. Hovering over the line will show the segment length. 

I attached the stairfile documents.

Best of luck with the build, and do not hesitate to keep us informed with pictures and a small testimonial that we would be happy to share on our website.

Hi Jean,

Ok, based on that information, I changed the following.

1) The length of the first flight is reduced to 52′.  The available length from the wall corner is 53′. The overlap of the stringboard with the first step is 3/4′, so the total is 52 3/4′. The stair will be set back from the corner 1/4′.

2) the newel position on the first flight is also set in line with the right stringboard.

3) flight 2 extended to 58 1/2′ so that the handrail runs flush against the second flight as it was protruding in the earlier version. It should be okay as you have 60′ available there.

4) the corner newel had due to point 3 had to be changed to a rectangular version to compensate for the added length on flight nr2. I also put the base of the newel on the floor as extra support for the stair.

5) Your available length for the third flight is also 60 inches. I set that length to 59 1/4′.  I removed the nose overhang on step 11 as this is in fact your floor and the flight is measured until the nose of that step.  Also, there is a riser on that step which is now flush with the step nose. I had to compensate the thickness of that riser with the flight length. so + 5/8′. This equals 59,825 inches. This leaves 0,175 playroom to install the stair. 

6) repositioned the top newels by 5/8′ to centre them on top of the floor level.

Attached is the file. Please recheck and confirm if this is ok to get the documents.

Hi Jean,

Ok, but the last step is still not defined. How are you going to apply it? Do you need a last step inside the stairwell, or do you not use the last step?  Step 11 is this an actual step, or does this represent the floor to connect to?

The nose of this last step is a reference for the flight length. So it is important to know if you need to include a last step in the flight length or not.

Also, the lateral recess you added on the stringboard connection with the newels was set too large, and your tenon connection disappeared. The value you set is the value it will get per side. I reduced it by half the value so that the tenon connection is now back. 

I also see that the handrail on the first flight is protruding into the stringboard of the upper flight. You might want to make some corrections there. 

Always verify your 3D visual as a lot of issues can be spotted there, which you do not always see in the technical 2D work area.

Hi Jean,

Is it intentional not to add a newel in the centre part of the stair? Also, the penetration value of the steps into the stringboards is too deep. The stringboards are only 1 inch thick so that I would advise a penetration of 5/16 or max 3/8. I suppose this is not self-supporting, as 1 inch would not be enough unless it gets fixed to a wall.

Also, the last step configuration is not done. Do you use a last landing step, or is the floor level considered the last step? 

Can you clear up your intentions on this project?

Regards

Michel
