The Land[x] stair plug-in provides tools for creating and editing simple parametric staircases in Autodesk® Civil 3D®. The staircase is an Autodesk® AutoCAD® 3D solid and the parameters (height of riser, length of tread, width, landing and slope) are stored in a property set attached.

This tools are useful to landscape architects and engineers when using corridors for designing landscape paths. As the staircase is a solid it can be projected to profile views and as the parameter is in a property set it can be labeled with this parameter.

The plug-in is published as open source code, with the intention of encouraging other users to improve the code. More information regarding this plug-in and its code can also be found on the developers' website and github.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

There are no design checks implemented yet, it's in the scope of the user to define reasonable parameters.

The standard setup is for metric drawings, you can easily change the standard values in property set definitions and add them to your own templates.

The plug-in only checks the existence of the LXStair property set definition, but not its validity. Removing properties from the definition can lead to malfunction.
