3.2.1 Stair Landing Installation Details

Landing Configuration
This option allows the user to visualise the different installation scenarios for Stair Landings
and associated Stair Flights prior to committing the installation to the database. As each
configuration is selected the graphical preview is updated to reflect the change.

Landing Attributes
The Stair Landing attributes manage the sizing of the Stair Landing which can be edited and
previewed graphically. The Stair Landing Thickness is managed by the value defined in the
current Standard and is subject to the checking mechanism of the min/max criteria such that
if the user attempts to input a value that exceeds the criteria the system will provide
appropriate feedback.

Tower Layout Details

The values populated in the Tower Layout Details are values that are managed by the
current Standard or they have been derived as a result of the Stair Tower layout such as the
Tower (X and Y) length attributes.

3.2.2 Catalogue and Assembly Details

The user must select the Assembly data for Stair Flights, Stair Landings and Handrails to
define the Stair Tower. This mechanism provides the maximum flexibility in that the user and
the system are not constrained to individual Standards referencing individual Assemblies.

Tie-Up Beam Selection Details

This defines the 'Tie-up' beam that was not part of the previous elevation beam data and is
coincident with the Landing Length supporting the unsupported span of the Stair Landing.
