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. 296 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.

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 2.55 m in a 2 × 3 m stairwell”, and it draws one that fits.
