Representation Mode

You can use two modes whilst working with SLH.

Layout Mode

The Layout mode can be used by different disciplines, the layout mode allows you to quickly create a flight of stairs, ladders or handrails whose geometry complies with the selected standard with minimal input. The flight of stairs, ladders or handrails are graphically displayed as a standard representation, which can then be clash tested or drafted.

Detail Mode

The Detail mode is intended for use by structural designers, which enables you to create detailed stair flights, ladders or handrails which can then be clash tested and drafted.

Note:
A stair flight, ladder or handrail element created in the Layout mode can be modified to produce a Detail mode representation of the element, without deletion or re-creation. An element created in the Detail mode cannot be modified to produce the element in the Layout mode.
