How to Draw Stairs

This tutorial covers how to use the stairs tool to design stairs of any specification.

Step 1 – Add Stairs to Canvas

You can create staircases of any specification with Moddy. Click the stairs icon to drag a new staircase onto the canvas, then adjust:

  • Step count
  • Length
  • Height
  • Width
  • Elevation

You will notice the staircase will update in real-time as you adjust these values.

Step 2 – Measuring Step Rise and Tread

An Occupational Therapist is required to display the measurements that accompany the new stairs. In our software, we allow you to specifically measure:

  • Tread length of each step
  • Tread rise of each step
  • Uniform or non-uniform steps
  • The perimeter of the staircase or;
  • Export reports in both top-view and 3D perspectives

You can design steps/stairs with perfect to-scale measurements using Moddy.

Step 3 – Staircases as Part of a Home Modification

Staircases are part of a greater environment and an Occupational Therapists may wish to include this in their report.

Staircases are usually accompanied by handrails and landings.

Importantly, staircases can have varied step length and step height, such as the first step being different to the remaining steps.

It is important the peripheral features of a staircase can be designed and represented clearly in a report. This is why an Occupational Therapist may choose to use CAD software such as Moddy.
