Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry for the lack of detail I have not done stairs before. Quick replies:
– Landing step. Not sure what you mean. The top of the stair will fit into the side of a steel beam and will step onto the floor.
– Newel posts. The central newel post is actually there to add support a beam over the top of the stair. The engineer under speced it and this is the easiest way for me to rectify it. Not the nicest look. It can however be notched around the stringer to maintain the strength. The plan is for the balustrade to taper in under the floor level. Upper newel probably is not needed .
– Right Balustrade. This is not required as there is a wall on this side of the stair. Could not work out how to get rid of the handrail in the program.
– Initially downloaded version 7 however all of the tutorials I saw were for version 6 and was struggling to follow.
Additional information:
– I am limited with head room which is way the stairs are quite steep. The underside will be enclosed with storage. Materials will be pine and chipboard. Railings, stringers and balustrades will be painted and the treads will be carpeted. Fairly boring, but hopefully simple to make and cost effective.
Do you need any further information?

Hi Ryan
I checked the file and some things needs attention. I need more information on the place where the stair will be fitted
I did not see any landingstep
Do you realy need that intermediate post as it is not needed to strength the handrail as it is not that long . Also a stringer in 1 piece in that position is much more needed.
dou you need the newels to touch the floor ? Upper newel mostly not as the stair wil fit on the floor joist.
Right handrail on the second flight ? Do you need it there ?
some parameters needs to be checked also but lets work on this first.
Also have you tried stairdesigner 7 ? You can download it and give it a try 😉

Hi,
This is my first time trying to use the software and get a design. I have just tried to pay for a stair design but there was some sort of issue and it didn’t work. Is there another way to pay?
Also what is the different between standard and Optimized? I am just looking for a standard design that is easy to construct myself.
I have attached what I have done so far. If you could please provide some advise that would be appreciated.
