To Change the Horizontal Direction of a Spiral or U-Shaped Stair

Use this procedure to change the orientation of a spiral stair.

  1. Double-click a spiral or U-shaped stair to open the Properties palette.
  2. Click the Design tab, expand Basic, and expand General.
  3. Specify the horizontal orientation of the stair:
    If you want to… Then…
    draw the spiral or U-shaped stair in a counterclockwise direction select Counterclockwise for Horizontal Orientation.
    draw the spiral or U-shaped stair in a clockwise direction select Clockwise for Horizontal Orientation.
    Note: This is equivalent to selecting the Flip grip that mirrors the stair around its start point.
