Stairs

The Stair Tool helps you quickly add stairs with the right tread height and length to your tiny house. They are best used as “block outs” to later replace by detailed Cabinetry in the later stages of the design by using the Cabinetry Tool. This will allow you to create detailed storage stairs that you can export Cabinetry Plans from.

The Stair Menu has a variety of presets that you can use as a starting point to modify further.

tip

To create “L” shaped stairs, you can use the Cabinetry Tool instead of the Stair Tool and create cabinets for each step. You can export all cabinets in the stair on your Cabinetry Plans to communicate your design with your cabinet maker.
