U-Shaped Stair

Available in TurboCAD LTE Pro / DoubleCAD Pro only


Creates a line of stairs that doubles back on itself.

  1. Activate U-Shaped Stair and open the Properties to the Stair page. This example will be Clockwise with a 1/2 Landing. The remaining parameters control the vertical and horizontal dimensions of each stair. ----Note: Other stair properties, such as tread and riser thickness, nosing length, and materials can be set using the Style Manager. See Stairs Styles. Once you have styles defined, you can set a stair's style in the General page of the Properties.
  2. The next three clicks define the plan dimensions of the stairs. The first two clicks sets the stair width and angle. The third click sets the offset - this is the distance between the exterior edge of one stair run and the interior edge of the other stair run. These values can also be set in the Inspector Bar.
