Create a line representing steps by defining one of the side edges (using 2 points) and using the width and number of treads.
- Two points defining the top and bottom edge of the step.
- Number of treads
- The width of the steps.
{1} is the number of treads.
{2} is the width of the steps.
Control Code Definition
A control code action 'Steps By Edge' is given a value '{Stepsby2pts} {1} {2}'.
Measured Points
The first point (pt 6) is assigned a code 'STE StepsBy2Pt 5 1.5', where 'STE' is the feature code for steps, '5' is the number of treads and 1.5 is the width of the steps.
The second point (pt 7) is assigned a code 'STE'.
- When defining the side edge, the highest point represents the rear of the highest tread and lowest point represents the front of the lowest tread.
- The number of treads is used to determine the vertical drop between each step and the depth of each step.
- You can input the number of treads and width of the steps, in the code or as an attribute, depending on the definition in Edit Control Codes.
