Installation of covering materials on stairways normally requires more specifications such as wrapping or capping style, labor charges can be on per-step bases.

 

Stairway Editing: Right-click over the stairway and select Properties to specify the additional estimating and installing requirement.

 

·        Change Label: type in or select from the pulldown list

·        Change Covering Style: select from Waterfall or Full Wrap, if Full Wrap is selected, the program automatically checks on Allocate each step individually.

·        Allocate each step individually (checkbox): when checked, the program allocates and estimates cuts per step (instead of a whole piece) to reduce the waste ratio.

·        Change Material: reset by selecting from the material pulldown list

·        Additional Information: instruction can be entered and printed out with estimates
