Define Your Stairway Area:** - If necessary, add plaster walls on the sides of the stairway and close off the space using a separator. ![stairway](https://faq.visuary.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-28-2025-01-15-05-3429-PM.png?width=533&height=373&name=image-png-Mar-28-2025-01-15-05-3429-PM.png) - If no plaster walls are required, use only separators to define the area. ![stairway 2](https://faq.visuary.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-28-2025-01-16-03-4546-PM.png?width=523&height=311&name=image-png-Mar-28-2025-01-16-03-4546-PM.png) - Once your space is created, rename it"Stairway" from the room menu. **2. Add the Staircase:** - In the Objects menu, search for"Stairs", select the appropriate model, and place it in the designated location on the plan. - In the Stairs object menu, adjust its width and depth if necessary. Note: It is not possible to add extra steps. ![stairs](https://faq.visuary.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-28-2025-01-19-39-0615-PM.png?width=670&height=278&name=image-png-Mar-28-2025-01-19-39-0615-PM.png) **3. Define the Stairs Easement:** - In the Objects menu, search for "Stairs Easement" and place it on the plan to mark the area occupied by the staircase. ![easement](https://faq.visuary.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-28-2025-01-22-21-4844-PM.png?width=670&height=355&name=image-png-Mar-28-2025-01-22-21-4844-PM.png) **4.
