  3. Move the stair to the desired location, and click once; or enter a value, and press Enter.

    If you want to enter a specific value for the second direction in any edit mode (for example, in the Y direction when editing along the XY plane), press Tab to cycle to the second direction.

    You can also lock the movement of the stair along a specific direction. If you enter a value for either dimension direction in the current edit mode, and then press Tab, the movement of the stair is constrained to the second dimension direction. When editing along the XY plane, for example, you can enter a value for X dimension, and then press Tab. The X dimension is locked at that value, and movement of the stair is constrained to the Y dimension direction.
