Stair Tower Assembly

A graphical representation or preview in the 3D canvas of the Stair Tower reflecting the
information in the form which can be modified by the user to suit the layout of the adjacent
model data to which the Stair Tower is being defined.
The graphical preview is based on the engineering criteria defined in the 'ASL standards'
and these values will be written to the appropriate attributes of the Stair Tower.
To minimise the degree of post creation modification the Stair Tower functionality provides a
graphical preview prior to the creation of the detailed representation of the final design, this
workflow has been adopted to enable the user to modify the Stair Tower as required by
changing specific dimensions, directions or selections, and can also include the creation of
additional entry or exit points as maybe required by adjacent model data or access
requirements.
The form and the graphical preview indicated above shows how the dimensions from the
actual engineering criteria defined by the relevant standard have been used to give a
realistic geometric preview of the Stair Tower, the graphical representation indicates;
• The Position and orientation of the Stair Tower
• The overall size (Xlength, Ylength and Height) of the Stair Tower
• The number off and elevations of the supporting Beams
