Sketching Stairs

When creating a stair assembly, create a custom run or a landing component by sketching the shape.

This method provides an alternative to creating runs or landings using the standard tools.

About Sketched Stair Components
A sketch mode is available for sketching custom stair runs and landings separately. These sketched components can then be connected to create a stair assembly.
Modify a Sketched Stair
After creating a sketched stair, you can modify stair boundaries, riser lines, and run lines to shape the stairs as desired.
Create a Stair Run by Sketching
When creating a stair assembly, create a custom-shaped run component by sketching the boundary and risers.
Create a Landing Component by Sketching
When creating a stair assembly, create a custom-shaped landing component by sketching the boundary.
Modify Stair Railings
When you create a stair, railings are added automatically. You can modify stair railings at any time after their creation.
Define a Zero Tread Thickness for Monolithic Stairs
After creating a sketched stair, you can set the tread thickness of monolithic stairs to 0. Monolithic stairs have their stringers, treads, and risers all made from the same material, such as concrete.
