L-shaped stairs with winders for a 2.40 m floor height
14 risers of 17.1 cm and 13 treads 29 cm deep, at 31°. 1.00 m wide, it takes 2.45 m × 2.45 m of floor. Three winders carry it round the corner, each taking a riser, so it needs no landing.

More or fewer steps
2.40 m (240 cm) can be climbed in fewer, higher steps or more, lower ones. Each opens in uCAD as this stair with that many risers.
| Risers | Each riser | Going | Pitch | Run of a straight flight | How it walks | In uCAD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 20 cm | 25 cm | 39° | 2.75 m | steeper, fewer steps | open |
| 13 | 18.5 cm | 26 cm | 35° | 3.12 m | comfortable | open |
| 14 | 17.1 cm | 29 cm | 31° | 3.77 m | comfortable (drawn here) | open |
| 15 | 16 cm | 31 cm | 27° | 4.34 m | comfortable | open |
Limits differ by country: England’s Approved Document K allows a rise up to 220 mm and a pitch up to 42° in a home, Germany’s DIN 18065 up to 200 mm, and both ask for 2.0 m of headroom. Check the code that applies to yours.
What it’s made of
Drawn as it’s built, in timber with open treads: treads housed in the stringers, posts under the turns, a railing on its newels. 209 parts in all, every bolt and weld among them. Sizes in millimetres, length × width × thickness.

Closed risers, a steel frame, another width or railing: change it in uCAD, and the parts are worked out again, with a cut list of the boards to buy. Sizes of the structure are the library’s defaults for a house stair, not an engineer’s calculation for yours.
Another height or width

Will it fit your room?
Open it in uCAD, draw your walls round it and look: turn it the other way, move the turn up or down, change the width. Or tell the AI: “a stair for 2.40 m in a 2 × 3 m stairwell”, and it draws one that fits.
