Create points and views as necessary for stair

In a plan view at the 3200 elevation zoom in to the intersection of Gridlines A2. Double click the
Create Extension Point icon. Input -2000 -900. Click Apply and pick the intersections of Gridlines
A3 and then Gridlines A2.

Double click the Create Parallel Points icon and set the value to 1200. Pick the right point and
then the left point that you just created.

By using the points just created create an elevation view for each stringer looking in the direction
shown below by the arrows

Construct now the points for the stair landing.

Working in the other elevation view of the stringer project a point out to the left of the point at the
top of the stringer (the distance is not important), and then create a point in an anti-clockwise
direction at an angle of 40 degrees.

Update

Now using the Create line line intersection point command, find the intersection between the two
points at 40 degrees, at the top of the stringer, and two points along the horizontal grid at RL 0.0.
This will construct a point out to the left representing the point at the bottom of the stringer.

Repeat the above point creation procedures for the second stair stringer, or if you wish, you can
copy the point just constructed, to the other stringer view.

Input stringers

Now input the stringers and the landing members (select appropriate U-profiles) ensuring that they
are toeing in the correct direction and are positioned correctly. You will need to check these
members in a plan view to confirm their location.

Note: When inputting channel profiles and they are toeing in the wrong direction, DO NOT modify
their rotation to “below”. All horizontal members should have their rotation set to “top” otherwise
they will be detailed upside down on the drawings.
To make a channel toe in the correct direction, input the member from right to left instead of left to
right etc..

Once the members have been inserted, cut the bottom of the stringer as shown in “Detail 1” on
drawing Train 1 Update using the Line Cut command.

Then “fit” the stringer to the landing member using the Fitting command. First pick the Fitting
command icon, then drag across both the stringer and landing member, then pick the two points
shown below.

Now weld the stringer to the landing member.

Connect the landing members to the main structure using the Shear Plate Simple (146) macro on
the sixth page of macros.

Construct points for treads

Construct three points for the tread shown below and then construct one extra point up the stringer
where the start of the next tread will be.

Input treads, weld and copy up tread

Using the Create Folded Plate command complete the Folded Plate Dialogue box using
FPL10*900 as the profile.

Now insert the Folded plate by tracing the three points previously constructed for the folded plate,
then close the shape off by picking the start point as the last point.

You will need to adjust the Position in Plane and Position in Depth values for the tread to be
positioned in the correct location.

Again check a plan view to ensure the tread is in the correct location.

Once the tread is in the correct location, weld it to both stringers (when welding pick stringer then
tread, other stringer then tread etc..) and then using the Copy-Translate command copy the tread
up the stringer needed times.
