Add an angled tread to a staircase in X1
- Create a staircase that has the general shape you need (for spiral staircases, see Add a spiral staircase in X1).
- Select the entire staircase or only one section (e.g., a landing or one flights of steps), depending on which sections have the angled tread (ensure that you are not selecting only a wall).
Note: Each section will have its own angled thread settings, so you will need to adjust each of them separately in Steps 7–8.
- Select the Properties icon (
) - Navigate to the Staircase section.
- Select the field to the right of Angled Treads (titled No if angled treads are not activated) to activate the dropdown menu and select the arrow that appears.
- Select Yes to activate the angled treads.
- With the appropriate sections selected, select the angled tread crosshairs.
- Drag the crosshairs to the desired angle.
When the tread is added to the staircase, the existing tread heights are automatically adjusted to compensate.
