Assemblies

The Assemblies task panel identifies the Stair Flight assembly data being used to create the instances in the design model. The current standard to which the Stair Flight assembly is being evaluated against is indicated in the main menu bar.

Select Stair Flight Detail Attributes to display the Stair Flight Detail Attributes form, which stores both the criteria from the standard such as Width and Headroom for example, and the evaluated criteria based on the positions of the work points. These attributes appear greyed out and therefore are not modifiable as they have been evaluated and validated by the system and subsequent manual overrides could easily invalidate the assembly.

In the example shown above the stair flight actually consists of two flight segments as the system has determined that one flight does not meet the satisfactory validation of the criteria and therefore required two flight segments with the insertion of an Intermediate Landing. The Intermediate Landing by default is positioned at the midpoint between the lower and upper work points, you can toggle between the two Flight segments which will refresh the attribute gadgets below.

The Upper Elevation gadget stores the elevation of the Intermediate Landing element, this is a transition element between the Flight Segments, the requirement for an Intermediate Landing and is determined by the system evaluation of the criteria. The Pick option to the right of this gadget allows you to modify the position of the Intermediate landing and subject to the validity of the criteria the Stair Flight and the Flight Segments will be modified to suit. The new elevation can be manually input or graphically selected using the position control object.
