In these dialog boxes you define the parameters for the string connection to the last step. The connection can occur on a story wall, on a ceiling and on an intermediate landing. Generally, a differentiation is made between standard (clinched), horizontal and vertical connections.
Dialog box Parameters String - Last step - Default
db_ath_stair_parameter4
Distance to last step Specifies the horizontal distance of the string rear edge to the front edge of the last step, see illustration String dimensions: Last step - Wall - 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 last step.
Of string Uses the same distance as to the string top edge (top insert) for the height above the landing.
Distance from last step Specifies the horizontal distance from the string rear edge to the front edge of the ceiling, see illustration String dimensions: Last step - Ceiling - Standard: Dimension 2. The entry field is enabled when you deactivate the Variable tick box.
Variable The rear edge of the string is formed pointed. The distance to the ceiling is influenced by other parameters (e.g. distance above landing).
Dialog box Parameters String - Last step - Vertical
db_ath_stair_parameter6
Distance from last step Specifies the horizontal distance from the string rear edge to the front edge of the ceiling, see illustration String dimensions: Last step - Ceiling - 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 last step.
The possible settings of all string parameters depend on the selected type of connection of the string and on the first step or last step which was selected in the Drop-down menu Landing. Furthermore, the options of the dialog box may differ slightly, depending on the type of landing selected (floor, ceiling or intermediate landing).
