Run options include:
Ideal Run - Use selected run to calculate total run.
Total Run - Calculate runs from total run entered.

For concrete stairs, select 'Concrete Thickness' and enter the throat thickness (see diagram) and 'Stair Width' to calculate formwork dimensions and concrete volume.
For wood stairs, select 'Stringer Width' and enter the width of the stringer.
To calculate and display upper floor opening and stair headroom, enter upper floor thickness, check the 'Headroom' check-box and select either the 'Headroom' or 'Floor Opening' radio button.
Selecting 'Headroom' calculates upper floor opening from entered headroom.
Selecting 'Floor Opening' calculates headroom from entered floor opening.
Printing Tips: Uncheck 'Color' to re-draw stair and stringer diagrams without colour for printing. This saves inkjet or toner cartridges.
If you're having trouble printing with IE, try Firefox or Chrome.
If the mages don't fit on the page, select 'Print Preview' and set page to 'Landscape'. Set scale to fit page before printing.
Uncheck 'Restrict' to allow extreme stair dimensions. (eg: stairs on boats - pathway stairs on sloping ground etc)

 Be sure to follow local building regulations regarding all stair dimensions.
