Editor. “But what about parameters?” you ask. Well, sometimes defining the parameters takes
more time than making the change manually in one place and then reloading the results into
your project. If you’re interested in downloading this stair, it’s in the Chapter 15 folder of the
book’s companion website; the file is called c15-Apple Stair.rvt.

annotating Stairs

Stair treads are annotated using the Tread Number tool, which is located in the Annotate tab of
the ribbon. You can use this tool from any plan view. When this tool is activated, place a string
of labels on any component stair by simply selecting the stair run. The tread number annotation
can be placed at the sides, the middle, or the quarter points along the run width (Figure 15.60).
