1. Select the Spiral Stair tool.
2. Create a circle of the desired size by clicking and dragging it to the desired location in the scene.
3. Once it is the size you want, release the click and move the mouse to create a mesh with the desired stair width.
4. Then click again and move the mouse up to generate a mesh at the desired height.
5. Once you have the desired height, click again to finish creating the mesh.
6. Adjust the height of each step by adjusting the Step Height among the properties of the Spiral Stair tool.
   • The value of Step Height determines the number of steps in the staircase.

Properties

Radius

This property sets the distance from the center of the spiral staircase to the inside of the staircase. In other words, this property sets the inside radius of the stairs.

Width

This property sets the width of the generated stairs.

Height

This property sets the overall height of the generated staircase.

Angle

Property that sets how much the entire staircase is rotated.

Curvature

This property sets how much the spiral staircase is rotated.

A value of 360 means that the beginning and end of the spiral stair will be exactly connected.

Step Height

This property sets the height of one step in the staircase that is generated.

The value determines the number of steps in the staircase, which affects the number of curved surfaces.

Display

This property allows you to choose how the mesh is displayed.
