Hi Stephen,

Here are your files.

Good luck for the building.

Keep us updated on how it goes.

All the best,

Ness

Hi Stephen,

To get the DXf files that you can load into AutoCad, and cutting lists in PDF just use your free StairFile Lite service.

Post your sds file on the forum and I’ll send you back the files.

All the best,

Ness

Hi Stev,

For the type of stair you are trying to design, StairDesigner will have some information that is not complet.

The best you can get will be this:

The StairDesigner model will have the following errors and you will have to modify the plans, either editing the DXF files or directly drawing onto the paper print outs.

– limited and incorrect design of the bullnose steps and curved risers

– too many spindles before the first newel post

– no joint lines on the cut string.

All other construction information is correct and usable, so it’s mainly a question of adding and deleting info.

I attach the StairDesigner file for reference.

All the best,

Ness

Hi Steve,

To add the newels put the mouse over the first flight and when it turns blue, click right. 

In the mouse menu,  choose “left inter..newel post”

You have to activate the left handrail and if necessary discard the second flight rail as StairDesigner can not only put a handrail on one flight.

To get the spindles only on the first flight use the “Flight parameters” tool box:

Note that StairDesigner will not set up the the joint lines for the second left post, and these will have to drawn by hand.

I attach a couple of StairDesigner examples that would fit your space.

Looking forwards to seeing the first stairs photos.

All the best,

Ness
