Hi Vidf,
Question:
Will my steps be “deep” enough (because of the riser) for comfortable walking?
Should I use 20 or 40mm thick post instead of stringboard/handrails in the top left?
Do you think 20cm riser height is ok for this stair?
(Tread Width: 15.19, Stair Rule 55.19)
The stair is very steep and in such situation a riser is taking away some comfort as you cannot overpass the step when walking on it. So if you can do an open stair without risers comfort will be better but still remain steep in use.
Why using such a wide post and reducing the width of your stair ? According to the plan I see you stair ends on a door opening or Do I see it wrong ? I suppose you do not have any handrail return then.
20 cm riser is OK. It can vary between 18 and 21 cm. I would not recommend ever to go over 21 cm. In your situation you have no choice unless you can add length on the stair.
I added a model made with the new stairdesigner 7 which is much better than version 6 you are using. There you can see that you can use the complete width of the stairwell and make a 90° turn with a possibility of handrail return. You can take a look at the 3d model. If you download sd7, you can open the stairfile too.

This is how the basement stair will be after some adjustment in the CAM
I forgot to press the “start upload” button in the last post 😛
But here are the pictures.
Seems like my .sds file don’t want to uppload?

How the customer want the baluster to look like (I will make it in the CAM program)
Hello
Now I’m about to use the file service for the second time. Hope it will be as good as last time J
The project now is a new cabin that shall have a stair from first to second floor and a similar stair from first floor down to the basement.
The distance (floor-floor) from first too second is 280cm and from the basement to the first floor is 240, my plan is to use a riser height of 20cm so I can just remove the two bottom steps in my CAM and use the “same” stair for the basement.
The “stair room” have a width of 90cm but the stair shall only be 80cm so it will straighten out 10 cm after the turn in the top. Instead of making a microscopic stringboard and handrails I thought I could make a wider post and make a nice, tilted cut on top of it. And glue the post together with the first post to the railing around the hole.
The thickness of the material I use is 40mm(stringboard and steps) and 19mm(19 for riser and baluster). My plan is to use 80mm posts so I can just glue it together from 40mm material. But for the top post that I just mentioned, I’m not sure if it should be 40 or 80mm thick? In my drawing it is 80
I have to go to Rhodes for a week tomorrow but when I come home I should really be ready to start cutting parts, my customer is a bit impatient now :S
I will bring my laptop with me so I will have the opportunity to make some smaller adjustment of the stair from the pool edge J
