Stringers rollout
These controls are available only when you turn
on Stringers on the Parameters rollout > Generate
Geometry group.
Depth—Controls how far down the stringers reach
toward the floor.
Width—Controls the width of the stringers.
Offset—Controls the vertical distance of the
stri ngers from the floor.
Spr ing fr om Floor—Controls whether the stringer
starts at the floor, flush with the start of the first
riser, or if the stringer extends below the floor. You
control the amount the stringer extends below the

Left: The stringer extending below the floor. (Spring From Floor
off.)
Right: The stringer springing from the floor. (Spring From Floor
on.)
