This tool is an interesting tool for creating stairs from faces. It allows you to quickly divide up a series of faces, then use those faces to create a staircase.
This tool allows you to create stairs based on overall height, raise between each step, or slab thickness.
The way it works is pretty simple – just create a series of boxes/flat planes, then set the height by typing in a value.
Note that you can set your height by riser height by typing an “S” after your value, or by slab thickness by typing an “e” after your height.
You can switch the direction that the stair is extruded by right clicking and selecting the option for “reverse direction.”
The stairs also have multiple different finishing options, including stairs extruded from the ground up, individual risers, thickened with a flat back, thickened with a zig zag back, and more.
The stairs can also be set to act as more of a ramp than a set of stairs.
You can also set the parameters in more of a detailed fashion by right clicking and hitting the “set parameter” button.
Overall, I really like what this extension allows you to be able to do.
