How changes made to stair components affect other components in a stair assembly.
Components in an assembled stair work as a unit to maintain the design intent of the stair. So, changing one component, such as resizing or repositioning it, results in changes to the connected components.
Note: Components created by sketch do not automatically change when a connected component is changed. You must modify the sketch to make any necessary changes to a sketch-based component.
Examples of how changes are propagated in a component-based stair
- Repositioning a run or landing also repositions or modifies the connected components.
- Changing the elevation of a landing will change the number of risers in the connected runs.
- Changing the width of the run will change the width of the connected landing.
- Adding or removing steps at an open end of a run (dragging the filled dot endpoint control) will not change the connected components. In this example, 4 steps are added to the second run. See Modifying Stair Components Using Direct Manipulation Controls.
In the following examples, before and after images illustrate the change behavior.
