After you select a landing on the Staircase landings and flights of stairs tab of the Staircase dialog and then click Properties, the Staircase landing properties dialog displays.
The dialog has 2 tabs: General and Grates/Plates.
Use the General tab to define landing geometry:
- First beam and Second beam - if these are selected, a landing will have additional transverse beams. The first beam is positioned further from the flight of stairs, and the second is positioned closer. Use the edit fields to specify characteristic distances of the beams.
- Support of grates- if this is selected, a flat bar supporting a grate is applied (the flat bar is welded to the stringer under grates).
- If either First beam or Second beam is selected, the edit fields for definition of the thickness of welds joining bearers with stringers are available.
- Beams and Supports of grates - define bar profiles, bar family types, and materials.
Use the Grates/Plates tab to define dimensions (grates/plates, distances from the edge, and so on).
You can also define the main direction of a grate (these options are not accessible for plates); positioning of a grate is illustrated schematically in the drawing below.
Profiles available on the selection list are those defined in the Profile List dialog. To add a profile to the list, click 
. The Profile list dialog displays, where you can select a profile.
Profile families available on the selection list are those defined in the Family Manager dialog. To add a family to the list, click 
. The Family manager dialog displays, in which you can select a family.
