Ed_Orum Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I have an existing condition stairwell where the bottom of the stair is 46" wide and the top of the stair is 38" wide. Is there a way to re-shape a set of stairs so they would conform to those dimensions? Thanks in advance Lane De Muro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Lane De Muro Are you saying some of the stairs are 46" wide and others are 38" or they slowly taper from 46 to 38? If they taper you would have to do each stair using a landing. If they change at some point you can do a complete break of the stairs and set the ones at 46 and the others at 38. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaTime Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 If they shrink from 46" to 38" due to a restriction in walls, you may want to look at the Max Tread Contraction setting in the stair Style panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They taper from 46 to 38" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the stairs taper, the top and bottom are different widths. Each side is continuous with no break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeaTime Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Oh I think just enabling Winders will do that - it'll just extend the stairs out to the nearest walls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Orum Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 Yes, checking winders and increasing the maximum contraction did the trick! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
