Rooms such as closets or storage areas are commonly located beneath staircases.
- Draw a staircase, select it, and click the Open Object
edit button to open the Staircase Specification dialog.
- If Winders are specified for this staircase, set Max Tread Contraction to 2" on the Style tab to allow walls to be built entirely under the staircase.
- On the Fill Style tab, select None (Transparent) so the walls and other objects under the stairs can be seen.
- On the same floor as the staircase, draw the Interior Walls
under them, following their shape. - Reposition the walls as needed, making sure that each is entirely under the stairs.
- The wall at the foot of the stairs should be placed no closer to the bottom than the second step.
- Add a door and specify the Room Type.
