As with all architectural projects, very common annoyances in professional stair building are modifications.

This post contains 2 short videos showing how to modify a simple straight flight of stairs to make them into a stair of 2 flights and a quarter turn landing. the orginal staircase plans were calculated with the demo version of StairDesigner in the  recent “Calculate Stairs with a free stair caculator” blog post.

The example shows how to calculate and build a staircase with StairDesigner software using precise assembly details, giving a good working example of real life design for efficient design and manufacturing using professional stair software.

StairDesigner is an excellent parametric stair calculator, that draws the stair plans, and parts automatically after simple input of the stair parameters.

StairDesigner’s stair cad software allows you to calculate stairs, optimize the design according to the stair regulations that you input, and gives stair drawings and plans, cutting lists, detailed drawing of parts and a full 3D model with a few mouse clicks.

If you have asked yourself how to draw stairs, how to calculate stair stringers and stair treads, take a look at this software, it can really make your work easier.

To get a full review of StairDesigner take a look at our review page.

For down load reasons this video is in 2 parts.

Here’s the first part:

And here’s the second part:

Most of this design can be done using the demo version of stairDesigner but you will not be able to print out the workshop documents.

If these videoshave been of interest to you don’t hesitate to come back. we will be posting other videos to show more indpth aspects of StairDesigner and how to organize stair design for smooth intergration of stair cad into the manufacturing process.

Is free Stair Cad Software any good? Is the demo version of StairDesigner a useful free stair calculator? What can you do really with the free demo version of StairDesigner? You can download a free demo version of the StairDesigner stair software from the Buy StairDesigner page on this site. But you are probably asking yourself so what? – What does the demo version real stair software what can I do with it? – Can I still draw stair plans? – Is the demo version a valid stair calculator? – Can I get a perspective drawing of stairs? – Can I use Stair Designer as a stair stringer calculator? – Does Stair Designer show me how to draw stairs? – And probably many more questions will pop to mind This series of articles is going to try and give you a clearer picture of the possibilities of the demo version of this stair cad software and the essential differences between the demo version and the full DXF version. First of all the big advantage of the demo of this stair software version is it’s a free stair calculator. The demo version will do just about everything the full version will do except print and export files for CAD/CAM. So you will be asking so if I can’t print what good is it to me? StairDesigner demo version will do you some very useful work for you and for free! For instance: You want to just calculate stairs. Say you want a straight flight 3m50 long and 800mm wide, for a floor to floor height of 2m60. First set your working units. Open the options “menu” then click “units”. For our example choose your working units in mm. Open the “File-New Stair- Multi flight winding” menu to open the “Stair Well Parameters” tool box. This tool will calculate stairs for you. For straight stairs just type in the length of the flight in the “Length” box For instance in our example 3500mm Then type in the width of the “landing step” (last step flush to the 1st floor) 100mm  for our example. Type in floor height, 2600mm in our example. You’ll see that StairDesigner gives a default number of steps at 16 The tool box should look like this: Click “update” to calculate the stairs with your parameters. StairDesigner gives “riser height” as 162.500, traed width as 226.667 and stair rule as 551.667 The “OK” button is red to say that the stair doesn’t fit into the limits of control. If you click on the “control” button you will see the control tool box that defines the limits of control. To get the stairs designed within the control parameters click on the “help” button. StairDesigner shows the actual parameters and suggests modifying the number of risers to 14.You should see this: Click “OK” . Stair Designer replaces 16 risers with 14 and the “OK” button is now green. Click “OK”. StairDesigner calculates the stairs and draws them giving all the information of height, rise, width etc.. Click on the 3D button and StairDesigner shows the staircase in real 3D! This is just a short preview of how to draw stairs in the demo version. In the next post we will add newel posts and modify the handrails. To see just how fast and easy this all is look at the video below!
