To Change the Floor Settings of a Stair

Use this procedure to control how the stair interacts with the floor at the beginning and end of the stair run.

  1. Double-click a stair to open the Properties palette.
  2. Click the Design tab, expand Advanced, and expand Floor Settings.

  3. Change settings for how the stair meets the top and bottom floors:
    If you want to… Then…
    specify the thickness of the floor finish material at the top floor of the stair enter a value for Top Offset.
    specify the depth of the structure at the top floor enter a value for Top Depth.
    specify the thickness of the floor finish material at the bottom floor of the stair enter a value for Bottom Offset.
    specify the depth of the structure at the bottom floor enter a value for Bottom Depth.
    Note: The Top and Bottom Depth settings currently have no effect on the stair or stringers. In addition, the Top offset has no visible effect on the stair. Bottom offset extends or truncates any attached stringers. Both offset values affect the rough floor-to-floor height, if it is displayed.
