If you're still looking for a fast, easy-to-use, low-priced spiral stair routine, stop searching.

Discover the simplicity of 3D Spiral Stair, an innovative, versatile and powerful add-on for AutoCAD 2000 and up, and ADT.

This 2 prompt Fast Load AutoLISP (FAS) application lets you build a complete, high detail, 3D spiral stair, even in Spanish style. Includes center post, post plate, tread supports, balusters, landing, and optional riser closure.

Just specify floor height and stair diameter. You'll watch the stair being built in seconds. Available settings include 5 attractive architectural styles, several post diameters and a Maximum Riser Height feature, which the program uses for calculating the best configuration to fit your project needs.

After the stair has been constructed, at the command prompt you'll see very helpful information at the design stages, such as number of risers, final riser height, height from tread 1 to tread above, and xy plane landing angle.

3D Spiral Stair is available for metric and imperial units. A graphical tutorial is available for download. With your purchase you’ll receive an interactive animation Spanish style stair sample.
