Create a new Assembly document and rename it to Staircase.
Background document
When it comes to working with several people on a big project, or if a project has to be divided into several functional sub-sets, it is sometimes difficult to share work efficiently.
The concept of background document can help with this problem.
Each designer in charge of a part of the project, or each functional sub-set, will then be able to put this document as the background of the sub-assembly he is working on: he will rely on the background document’s building elements in an associative way.
When a change is made to the background document (for example: modification of the opening, modification of the landing dimensions…), the assemblies related to that background document will be updated when loading the final assembly.
Create a background document via File > Background Document and select the Landing document from the list.
The background document appears in transparency in the Staircase document.
Close the Landing document.
Create a new sketch on the plane of the front face of the environment.
TopSolid’Design Advanced Sheet Metal Exercise 6: Metalworking - Design of an emergency staircase

Calculation of the number of steps
- Height of climb = 2500mm - Theoretical height of steps = 178mm - Number of steps = 2500/178 i.e. 14.0449 rounded to 14 - Calculation of the height of climb = 2500/14 i.e. 178.57mm

Section trims
Create the main trims to adjust the upper and lower crossbars/vertical sections.
Bars
- The distance along which bars will be placed is 4000 - (2*80-40) i.e. 3880mm. - The minimum distance between bars is 110 + 40 (square tubes of 40 x 2) i.e. 150mm. - Calculation of the number of bars: 3880/150 i.e. 25.86 rounded to 26. - Real step = 3880/26 i.e. 149.23mm at the axis which gives 109.23 from face to face of the tubes of 40.
Create a new sketch on the same plane as sketch 1.
Create a vertical line and add the dimension in relation to the vertical segment of sketch 1. This dimension is equal to (80 -20) + 149.23.
Note: The dimensioning is done in relation to the axis; this will help to prevent any invalidities when changing the sections of the vertical tubes.
