Blocklayer.com Releases New Interactive Stair Design Software Free Online

August 05, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Provided in both Metric and English versions, this software is easy to use and interactive. Simply browse to www.Blocklayer.com/stairs enter the measurement for total rise of the stairway and hit ‘Calculate’ to instantly redraw stair, stringer, headroom and upper floor opening plans with full dimensions, ready to print. The designer is preset with commonly accepted standard rise and run settings, which can easily be edited for custom applications or preferences. Stair specifications outside commonly accepted standards are flagged in the designer and noted on plans

The designer implements ‘Add’ and ‘Subtract’ rise buttons, and displays all reasonable possible rise measurements in a dropdown. Clicking a button or selecting an entry instantly redraws the plans, giving a clear visual representation of possible layout combinations. This interactivity allows for fine tuning of stair, stringer, headroom and upper floor opening specifications before the plans are finally accepted and printed.

A full written description of the plan layout is included, with all running stringer measurements listed to simplify set out.

Selecting ‘Stringer Width’ designs timber stairs, while ‘Concrete Thickness’ designs concrete stairs, displaying dimensions and volumes for formwork, concrete and void.

This new software is unique in its ability to instantly redraw plans for all possible combinations of chosen stair specifications. It gives designers instant accurate visual representations of alternatives before acceptance, allowing fine tuning to get it ‘just right’, all online for free.
