First step string connection
In these dialog boxes you define the parameters for the string connection to the first step. The connection can occur on the floor, on a ceiling and on an intermediate landing. Generally, a differentiation is made between standard, horizontal and vertical connections.
Dialog box Parameters String - First step - Default
db_ath_stair_parameter1
Distance from step
Specifies the horizontal distance of the string to the front edge of the first step, see illustration String dimensions: First step - Ceiling - Standard: Dimension 1.
The entry field is enabled when you deactivate the Of string tick box.
Of string
Uses the same distance as to the string top edge (top insert) for the distance from the step.
Distance from landing
Specifies the horizontal distance of the string to the landing, see illustration String dimensions: First step - Ceiling - Standard: Dimension 2.
Distance from ceiling
Specifies the vertical distance of the string to the bottom edge of the ceiling, see illustration String dimensions: First step - Ceiling - Standard: Dimension 3.
The input field is enabled when you deactivate the Variable tick box.
Variable
The bottom edge of the string is formed pointed. The distance to the ceiling is influenced by other parameters (e.g. distance from landing).
Floor structure
With the tick box activated the floor structure is ignored (distances are referenced to the bare floor), see illustration String dimensions: First step - Ceiling - Standard: Dimension A.
Wall structure
With the tick box activated the wall structure for the distance from the landing is ignored (distances refer to the raw-shell dimension), see illustration String dimensions: First step - Ceiling - Standard: Dimension B.
Ceiling structure
With the tick box activated the ceiling structure for the distance from the ceiling is ignored (distances refer to the raw-shell ceiling), see illustration String dimensions: First step - Ceiling - Standard: Dimension C.
ath_stair_wange1
String dimensions: First step - Ceiling - Standard
Dialog box Parameters String - First step - Horizontal
db_ath_stair_parameter2
Distance from step
Specifies the horizontal distance of the string to the front edge of the first step, see illustration String dimensions: First step - Floor - Horizontal: Dimension 1.
The entry field is enabled when you deactivate the Of string tick box.
Variable
Uses the distance of the step to the top edge of the string (top inset) also as the horizontal distance to the string. With the tick box activated the string is formed pointed at the front.
Distance
Specifies the vertical distance from the floor. A positive value extends the string downwards, a negative value shortens the string, see illustration String dimensions: First step - Floor - Horizontal: Dimension 2.
Floor structure
With the tick box activated the floor structure is ignored (distances are referenced to the bare floor), see illustration String dimensions: First step - Floor - Horizontal: Dimension A.
ath_stair_wange2
String dimensions: First step - Floor - Horizontal
Dialog box String - First step - Vertical parameters
db_ath_stair_parameter3
Distance from first step
Specifies the horizontal distance of the string to the front edge of the first step, see illustration String dimensions: First step - Floor - Vertical: Dimension 1.
The entry field is enabled when you deactivate the Of string tick box.
Of string
Uses the same distance as to the string top edge (top insert) for the distance from the first step. With the tick box activated the string is formed pointed at the bottom.
Height below floor
Specifies the vertical distance from the floor. A positive value extends the string downwards, a negative value shortens the string, see illustration String dimensions: First step - Floor - Vertical: Dimension 2.
Variable
The bottom edge of the string is formed pointed. The distance to the ceiling is influenced by other parameters (e.g. distance from landing).
Floor structure
With the tick box activated the floor structure is ignored (distances are referenced to the bare floor), see illustration String dimensions: First step - Floor - Vertical: Dimension A.
ath_stair_wange3
String dimensions: First step - Floor - Vertical
