BIMGENERATE2DSTAIR command
Generates a symbolic 2D representation of a 3D stair by projecting the steps onto a plane.

Description
Generates a 2D symbolic representation of a 3D entity classified as stair or as slab by projecting the steps or slabs to a plane.
- Stairs resulting from the BIMSTAIR command.
- Stairs which are created via direct modeling tools.
- Stairs imported from other software packages.
- Stairs created via Grasshopper scripts.
The automatically generated symbolic representation will be placed in the BIM_2D_BACK+_Stair* layers so that the solid geometry of the stair is still shown in the section result. Objects below the visible part of the stair will appear hidden. The layers can be customized and used during the section generation.
The direction of the stair is indicated in a 2d representation by an arrow pointing the up direction of the stair. The arrow starts at the first step and ends at the last step. A circle indicates the first step of the stair.
The numbering of steps starts with 1. The step text can be edited. Text style and layer settings can be set in the _SectionSettings.dwg file.
Options within the command
- Select Section Plane
- Allows you to select a Section Plane to project the stair or slab, to create a 2D stair or slab representation.
- Continue without section plane
- Creates a 2D stair or slab representation of the whole stair without selecting a Section Plane.
