Draw stairs

Open the level 1. 

Go to IMPACT - Elements - Draw slab to start the command.

Select the definition '1000x1750x1170' from project level (1). Edit the values of the element (2) according to Figure 1. Finish with 'OK' (3).

Draw two stairs between grid 2-3 and D-E. This needs to be done in two steps. 

  1. Place one of the stairs and rotate one more stair with the space key and place a second stair. 
  2. Use the move command to place the stairs according to the external reference.

The two stairs will go from first level to the second level. To fix this, it's easiest to use a section. We have 'Section 1' prepared that we can use. 

Move it from grids B-C to D-E. Modify the view depth.
