StairMAX lets you create parametric stairs and escalators from within 3ds max or VIZ. Every single stair parameter can be animated, because StairMAX uses a 100% parametric approach to create 3D stairs in 3ds max or VIZ.
With just a few mouseclicks you can built hundreds of different stairs.
The ease of use is really remarkable. Even user defined and customized stair elements stay fully parametric and adjustable!


Features:

All StairMAX objects are implemented as 100% parametric objects, and they can be accessed via the standard creation methods. StairMAX offers 5 new parametric stair objects.
