00:00:07.066 --> 00:00:10.399
Hi and welcome to Staircon.

2
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:11.166


3
00:00:11.166 --> 00:00:16.199
Let's create a new project, click File and New or 
click the blank paper icon in the top left.

4
00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:19.300


5
00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:24.900
From this prompt you can change project specific 
settings, such as customer name and address...

6
00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:26.400


7
00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:31.300
And country specific code if you want to test 
your stair.

8
00:00:31.300 --> 00:00:35.300


9
00:00:35.300 --> 00:00:44.900
Here you can set floor height, floor thickness and 
flooring thickness for your project.

10
00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:49.266


11
00:00:49.266 --> 00:00:54.666
We can also choose textures for the 3D view.

12
00:00:54.666 --> 00:00:55.499


13
00:00:55.500 --> 00:01:02.200
Now we have an empty project. Press F5 or click 
the Create Floor Opening icon in the top left.

14
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.133


15
00:01:04.133 --> 00:01:09.699
Here we can specify both size and shape of the 
opening.

16
00:01:09.700 --> 00:01:13.700


17
00:01:13.700 --> 00:01:18.666
Set the dimensions and click the checkboxes to 
create walls where you need them.

18
00:01:18.666 --> 00:01:20.999


19
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:26.666
Here you can specify a position for the opening. 
We will set the default by pressing enter twice.

20
00:01:26.666 --> 00:01:28.166


21
00:01:28.166 --> 00:01:32.799
Click on the side you want to attach the stair to.

22
00:01:32.800 --> 00:01:40.866
Now we can select which type of stair we want 
to add.

23
00:01:40.866 --> 00:01:46.599


24
00:01:46.600 --> 00:01:52.533
We'll choose a L-shaped stair using the Standard 
model.

25
00:01:52.533 --> 00:01:58.799


26
00:01:58.800 --> 00:02:03.133
Staircon has four different views. Right now we 
are looking at the plan view.

27
00:02:03.133 --> 00:02:03.966


28
00:02:03.966 --> 00:02:12.499
This is the elevation view. Here we can choose if 
we want to see both strings or just one side at a 
time.

29
00:02:12.500 --> 00:02:14.566


30
00:02:14.566 --> 00:02:17.799
And here is the 3D view.

31
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:22.400
Hold the left mouse button and drag to change the 
camera angle.

32
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:26.400
Holding the right button and dragging will zoom in 
and out.

33
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:30.400
Control + right mouse button tracks the camera.

34
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.433


35
00:02:34.433 --> 00:02:34.466


36
00:02:34.466 --> 00:02:46.232
We can open the different views side by side by 
going to the Window menu.

37
00:02:46.233 --> 00:02:50.233


38
00:02:50.233 --> 00:02:54.233
Click the right mouse button and drag to zoom in 
on the area you selected.

39
00:02:54.233 --> 00:02:55.266


40
00:02:55.266 --> 00:02:59.732
You can also use the mouse wheel to zoom.

41
00:02:59.733 --> 00:03:00.599


42
00:03:00.600 --> 00:03:04.566
Home will return you to the full view.

43
00:03:04.566 --> 00:03:06.366


44
00:03:06.366 --> 00:03:12.566
By going to View and Show/Hide Object you can 
choose which parts of the stair to show.

45
00:03:12.566 --> 00:03:17.332
For example: Step measurement is hidden by 
default.

46
00:03:17.333 --> 00:03:19.699


47
00:03:19.700 --> 00:03:26.600
Of course we can apply this in the 3D view as 
well. Let's say you want to show the floor and 
ceiling...

48
00:03:26.600 --> 00:03:31.166


49
00:03:31.166 --> 00:03:37.932
Or maybe disable the walls from showing to get a 
better view.
