Stair Path Type Properties

Stair Path Types

Stair path types are available from 2 predefined system families: Automatic Up/Down Direction and Fixed Up Direction. In the following example, the stair extends from level 1 to level 2. Notice that the representation is the same for both stair path types on the bottom floor view, but different for the top floor views.

Stair Path Type	Floor Plan
Automatic Up/Down Direction: Standard (Shows the Up direction from the bottom floor view and the Down direction from the top floor view.)	Bottom floor plan (level 1): Top floor plan (level 2):
Fixed Up Direction: Standard (Shows the Up direction in both views.)	Bottom floor plan (level 1): Top floor plan (level 2):
