Modify type properties to change the graphics for a stair path family.
Stair path types are available from 2 predefined system families: Automatic Up/Down Direction and Fixed Up Direction. In the following example, the stair extends from level 1 to level 2. Notice that the representation is the same for both stair path types on the bottom floor view, but different for the top floor views.
Stair Path Type | Floor Plan |
---|---|
Automatic Up/Down Direction: Standard (Shows the Up direction from the bottom floor view and the Down direction from the top floor view.) |
Bottom floor plan (level 1): Top floor plan (level 2): |
Fixed Up Direction: Standard (Shows the Up direction in both views.) |
Bottom floor plan (level 1): Top floor plan (level 2): |
To change type properties, select an element and click Modify tabProperties panel (Type Properties). Changes to type properties apply to all instances in the project.
