Hi and welcome to Staircon.
Let's create a new project, click File and New or click the blank paper icon in the top left.
From this prompt you can change project specific settings, such as customer name and address...
And country specific code if you want to test your stair.
Here you can set floor height, floor thickness and flooring thickness for your project.
We can also choose textures for the 3D view.
Now we have an empty project. Press F5 or click the Create Floor Opening icon in the top left.
Here we can specify both size and shape of the opening.
Set the dimensions and click the checkboxes to create walls where you need them.
Here you can specify a position for the opening. We will set the default by pressing enter twice.
Click on the side you want to attach the stair to.
Now we can select which type of stair we want to add.
We'll choose a L-shaped stair using the Standard model.
Staircon has four different views. Right now we are looking at the plan view.
This is the elevation view. Here we can choose if we want to see both strings or just one side at a time.
And here is the 3D view.
Hold the left mouse button and drag to change the camera angle.
Holding the right button and dragging will zoom in and out.
Control + right mouse button tracks the camera.
We can open the different views side by side by going to the Window menu.
Click the right mouse button and drag to zoom in on the area you selected.
You can also use the mouse wheel to zoom.
Home will return you to the full view.
By going to View and Show/Hide Object you can choose which parts of the stair to show.
For example: Step measurement is hidden by default.
Of course we can apply this in the 3D view as well. Let's say you want to show the floor and ceiling...
Or maybe disable the walls from showing to get a better view.
