The purpose of using Moddy is not out software – it’s for your reports and the outcomes of your clients.

Moddy is suitable for Occupational Therapists willing to learn a modern approach to staircase design, and communicate their building plans clearly.

What features of stairs do OTs display in reports?
An occupational therapist needs to clearly display the overall;
- Length
- Width
- Height
- Step tread and rise, including variations
How does Moddy help OTs adhere to Australian standards?
The stair tool in Moddy has preset defaults that are within the Australian standards for step tread and rise.

However, it is the responsibility of an Occupational Therapist to have a working knowledge of the building standards and how they apply to the environment.
What are the common peripheral items to add to a stair case?
When an occupational therapist designs stairs or steps, there are several common design elements that need to be paired with them. These include:
- Landing tactile ground surface indicators (TGSIs) – to assist with navigation.
- Handrails – often accompanied by: Curb rails, Mid rails, or Balustrades.
- Doors, grab rails, or walls – typically required when stairs lead to a front or back access of a property.
All of these items can be designed within the Moddy software, providing occupational therapists with the tools they need to create comprehensive and accessible designs.
Do I need to re-create my design in both top view and 3D?
No.

In Moddy, you are designing both at the same time.

Most OTs prefer to design in the top view, as it is very easy to align objects.

However, clicking the 3D button allows you to see your stairs in 3D instantly.
