Creating curved stair treads

Starter Treads

The first and second treads of a
staircase can be turned into starter
treads by clicking the Starter Tread edit
button. Starter treads extend to the side of the
staircase, have rounded edges and are
common on traditional staircases.
A starter tread can be added only to open
sides of a stair section. If one side of a stair
section is against a wall or wrapped (see
“Wrapped Stairs” on page 746), only the
exposed tread end can become a starter tread.

To create starter treads
1. Click on a staircase to select it.

2. Click the Starter Tread edit button.
An edit handle displays on each end of
both the first and second treads.
