For general stair building, StairDesigner and a free 2D CADD system will work very well.<\/p><p>The advantages of stair building using a 3D system are felt in several situations:<\/p><p>&#8211; When one has to assemble several stairs or stairs and landing for presentation purposes. Complete stair wells can be built quickly and given a realistic look for customer approval.<\/p><p>&#8211; When working on solid or curved or wreathed strings and hand rails. 3D is very useful for setting out the face moulds. These elements can be calculated directly from a 3D model without any 2D manipulation.<\/p><p>Here\u2019s a short video showing how to build a rendered image of a stair with it\u2019s landing in 3D.<\/p><p>To see how I use StairDesigner to build a landing or mezzanine you can look at this video:<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/wooddesigner.org\/building-mezzanine-and-platforms-with-stairdesigner\/\">Building mezzanines and platforms with StairDesigner<\/a><\/p><p>With a bit of preparation the whole process can be generally done in under an hour.<\/p><p>Hope you like it:<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Assemble Multiple Stair Parts in CAD\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/91835779?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Please leave a comment or click here to discover more about <a href=\"https:\/\/wooddesigner.org\/stairdesigner-software\/\">StairDesigner<\/a>.<\/p><p>Thanks very much!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a short video to show how I use the StairDesigner DXF export functions to use Progecad or Autocad to build a complete 3D project with the rendering tools supplied in Progecad 2010\/11.
