Stairs in AutoCAD

[pamadams]

Hello,

I am unfortunately downgraded from Architecture to AutoCAD. I am trying to draw and calculate stairs for a residential drawing. Have floor plan. Need cross sections and correct calculations for number of risers required? Thanks

Instep.zip at CadMonkey might be worth trying.

 

"Draws stairs to your specific parameters plan view and elevations uses dialog boxes."

 

Written for AutoCAD 2000 and it is Shareware.

You'll probably get suggestions for three more lisp routines in the next 5 minutes so don't disappear.

 

mdbdesign notes that this shareware program is no longer available. Sorry.

Do your stair calculations with staircal.zip available at CadCorner Canada. It's a freebie.

 

"Stair riser and run calculations."

Draw stair sections program free for the download from the Cadalyst magazine Cad Tips section.

This one got some positive feedback from other users.

I always draw mine from scratch. 'Course, I have LT.

E-mail to author is not valid, not really way to contact him(her)... Looks like it is lost(program)

mdbdesign: Thank you for pointing that out. That's why I try to provide more than one source of information. It's always good to have a backup plan.
