Modifying stairs

Module(s): Stairs

You can use the Modify Stair tool to change the parameters of stairs you have already drawn.

Note: When you use Modify Stair to edit a stair created with the Stair Wizard, the dialog boxes of the standard stair type open. The "wizard stair" property is lost; you can no longer modify the stair using the Stair Wizard dialog box.
