Stair

A straight staircase whose step count follows the step height.

Translation in progress — showing the English version.

Stair is a straight staircase. You do not set the step count — it comes from Height ÷ Step Height.

Geometry

A staircase rising to Height within a Width (local X) by Depth (local Z) footprint. The pivot is at the center of the base and the steps climb toward +Z.

The step count is Height ÷ Step Height, capped at 256 steps. Each tread is Depth ÷ step count deep.

So for a believable staircase, keep Step Height realistic (0.15 – 0.2 m) and adjust Depth to land the tread depth you want.

Parameters

Label	Script key	Default	Range	Description
Width	`w`	1	0.01 ~ 1000	Stair width in meters
Depth	`d`	2	0.01 ~ 1000	Horizontal run of the staircase, in meters
Height	`h`	1	-1000 ~ 1000	Total height in meters
Step Height	`sh`	0.2	0.01 ~ 1000	Height of one step, in meters — this determines the step count

A Step Height larger than Height is clamped to Height (one step). Past 256 steps the count stops at the cap.

How to create

Drag in empty space to set the footprint (Width × Depth).

Scene view editing

The X handles drive Width, the Z handles Depth and the Y handles Height. Raising Height adds steps. Lock Step Height to keep the riser fixed while you stretch the staircase.

Tips

To meet building conventions, target a 0.15 – 0.18 m riser and a 0.25 – 0.3 m tread, then work backwards with Depth = step count × tread.

Locking Step Height pays off here: once locked, the riser survives a redraw in Draw mode.
