Fixed Distance Between Stringer and Wall and Centered Handrailing

It is now possible to define a fixed distance between the stringer and wall. Changes to the stringer thickness – manually or by changing the material thickness – do not affect the distance between the stringer and wall.

That is, if the user changes the thickness of a stringer, the distance to the wall remains the same, and the stair itself will be moved away from the wall. Before, it sometimes happened that the stringer grew into the wall or into the treads. This does not happen anymore. The distance between the stringer and wall can now be set as fixed.

It is now possible to define a fixed distance between the stringer and wall.

Furthermore, it is also possible to assign different thicknesses in the materials themselves, so that the stringer thickness automatically changes when the user switches to a different material. The stair width always remains the same and the entire stair is moved accordingly. This feature leads to fewer mistakes and users do not have to double-check tread widths, etc. anymore after making changes to the material thickness or the distance between the stringer and wall.

This new feature eliminates the need to create different predefinitions for varying material thicknesses: By choosing different materials, it is now possible to realize different stringer thicknesses with only one predefinition. The stair automatically maintains the correct distance to the wall.

Next to the stringers themselves, the stringer capping can now also be adjusted automatically through a table. If the user changes the stringer thickness, e.g., by changing the material, the stringer capping will automatically adjust to fit the new stringer thickness.

Additionally, it is possible to always centre the handrail over the stringer.

If the stringer thickness is changed, the handrail will automatically reposition over the centre of the stringer.

Before, it was only possible to use the tread edge as a reference for the handrail position. Now, the new reference point “centre stringer” can be selected.

The new features described above immensely simplify the design of stringers and handrailing. Stair builders have fewer data to check and have to make fewer manual adjustments.

This leads to fewer errors, more automation, and faster designs.
