System and method for modeling stairs

A method of operating a stair modeling system comprising:

• storing standard stair design parameters and associated values stored in the storage resource;
• receiving at least one of user defined standard stair design parameters and associated values and user defined stair design parameters and associated values;
• generating stair design data associated with dynamically manageable objects, each object displayable within a graphical setting, the stair design data defined at least in part by at least one of the user defined standard stair design parameters and associated values and the user defined stair design parameters and associated values;
• processing the stair design data by comparing the at least one of the standard stair design parameter and associated user defined value and the at least one stair design parameter and associated user defined value with the standard stair design parameters and associated values and recalculating at least one of the user defined values associated with the standard stair design parameters and stair design parameters;
• and
• regenerating stair design data.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a set of computer instructions executable by a processor for operating a system for stair modeling, computer instructions configured to:

• receive at least one of user defined standard stair design parameters and associated values and user defined stair design parameters and associated values;
• generate stair design data associated with dynamically manageable objects, each object displayable within a graphical setting, the stair design data and control data defined by at least one of the user defined standard stair design parameters and associated values and the user defined stair design parameters and associated values;
• process the stair design data by comparing the at least one of the standard stair design parameter and associated user defined value and the at least one stair design parameter and associated user defined value with the standard stair design parameters and associated values and recalculating at least one of the user defined values associated with the standard stair design parameters and stair design parameters;
• and
• regenerate stair design data;
• wherein the standard stair design parameters and associated values define parameters and values for at least one of riser height, going width, 2 times riser plus 1 going, a riser/going ratio, riser plus going, stair pitch, and automatic landing length;
• and
• wherein the user defined standard stair design parameters and associated parameters and user defined stair design parameters and associated values define parameters and values for at least one of riser height, going width, 2 times riser plus 1 going, a riser/going ratio, riser plus going, stair pitch, and automatic landing length, story height, number of landings, landing types (landing, winder with equal angles, winder with equal goings), segment types (run, landing, winder with equal angles, winder with equal goings), number of steps, stair width, number of risers, and polyline values.
