Steep Stairs
I have Home Designer Deluxe 7.08 which I am using to model an extension to our existing house. When I try to model the existing stairs however I am unable to make them steep enough as the software seems to limit the slope to being no steeper than 42 degrees. Is it possible to over come this limit? The existing 1930's house has a staircase that is somewhat steeper than this.
Thanks,
Charles

There is not a way to overcome this limit.

All our products balk at building a set of stairs this steep. This is beyond what most building codes allow so if you need this then there must be a special situation. If you are remodeling an existing building you may need to change this to get it past code.
If you absolutly need this you can do this in Home Designer PRO 7 by using the lock tread width option.Dan Park
