0:00What if one staircase template [music]
0:02could speed up your stair design
0:03decisions and cut shop drawings in half?
0:06As an interior designer, you know that
0:07staircases are more than just
0:08circulation. They are architectural
0:10moments, but they're also where an
0:12incredible amount of design time [music]
0:14disappears. From straight runs and
0:16switchback stairs to floating treads,
0:18curved profiles, railings, nosings, and
0:21custom details, many of us end up
0:23redrawing the same stair logic over and
0:25over, just slightly adjusted for each
0:27space.
0:30In this tutorial, you will learn how to
0:32build a smarter, more efficient
0:34staircase design workflow by turning
0:36your stair drawings into [music]
0:37reusable, adaptable design assets. We
0:40are going to focus on creating flexible
0:42stair templates, building CAD blocks for
0:44treads, risers, stringers, handrails,
0:47and guard rails, and setting up detail
0:49libraries that can be quickly customized
0:51so your expertise can compound with
0:52every project instead of starting from
0:54scratch. Today I'll be demonstrating
0:56this workflow using Rayon Design where
0:58we will go step by step through
0:59importing DWG drawing, laying out stair
1:02geometry, [music] designing custom stair
1:04details, developing railing and joinery
1:07conditions, applying materials and
1:09finishes, and organizing everything into
1:12a clear presentation and construction
1:14documentation set [music] all in one
1:16place. You can go ahead and create a
1:17free rayon account using the link below
1:19in the description to follow along and
1:21access some ready-made stair templates
1:23and detail libraries that I'm going to
1:24be using throughout this tutorial. Now,
1:26let's get started. [music] Now, to show
1:28you my staircase design template and why
1:30it's so efficient, let's go through a
1:32realistic step-by-step [music] process.
1:34So, typically every staircase drawing
1:36starts with a space fit of your given
1:39project. [music] This means you will
1:40start by importing a DWG file, edit and
1:43redesign it, and then start [music]
1:45working on staircase design and shop
1:46drawings. So, let's go ahead and import
1:48our DWG file. So, [music] in the I'm
1:51just in a blank model here in Rayon. I'm
1:53going to go to my menu up here and go to
1:55[music] import DWG.
1:57We will search for our DWG file, which
1:59is right here, and hit open. Now, it's
2:02going to ask you a couple questions
2:03about layers. I'm just going to import
2:05the default and say import. [music] And
2:08then this is what uh it's going to look
2:10like. Now, when it comes in, it's going
2:12to ask you to define um a measurement,
2:14right? So, we want to make sure this
2:16thing's to [music] scale. Typically,
2:17you'll select something that you know
2:18the measurement of. Um I usually just do
2:21like a door opening. So, I'm just going
2:23[music] to select two points. And down
2:24below, it's going to ask me um you know,
2:27if this measurement looks right. Now,
2:30[music]
2:30this is saying it's basically 3/4 of a
2:32meter, which is correct. Uh if that
2:34doesn't look correct to you, you can
2:35always change the units. Uh, [music] so
2:37you know if it's millimeters or
2:39something centimeters, feet, whatever,
2:42um, you can change that there. But it's
2:44detecting meters and that looks right to
2:46me. So I'm going to say continue.
2:47[music] And then we'll pick an insertion
2:49point and just click. And then it will
2:51drop it in for us. And then if I go take
2:53my dimension tool and dimension that
2:55opening that we just looked at. [music]
2:57Um, 2T 5 in, that's 3/4 of a meter. So
3:00that is correct. Um, I just like to
3:03double check that real quick before I
3:04start drawing because we want to make
3:05sure that everything is to scale. In
3:08this example today, I'm going to be
3:09showing this small cafe design project.
3:11[music]
3:12Um, where we're just going to test fit a
3:14few different staircase types to see
3:15what is the most space efficient option.
3:18Now, you can see that with this CAD file
3:20that we brought in, [music] um, it
3:22brought in and inherited all of the
3:24layers and the blocks [music] uh, from
3:26the file. So, so you can see here it
3:29even brought in some of the hatch work,
3:31which I'm actually just going to go
3:32ahead and delete. We can also just hide
3:33it in our [music] layers panel, but um
3:35I'm going to get rid of that for now.
3:36But you can see that everything that's
3:38brought in is kind of just like line
3:39work at this point. So, [music] my
3:42preference is to actually retrace uh the
3:45CAD line [music] work and blocks uh with
3:48rayon walls. So, in order to do that,
3:50I'm going to just actually window over
3:52everything, right click, and lock. So
3:54that way when I add in my rayon walls,
3:56it's not going to affect any of this
3:57other stuff. And then first thing we
3:59want to do is go into our layers and
4:01create a new layer, which I'll call
4:03[music] rayon walls. You can be be more
4:06specific. You could say like existing
4:08walls or demo walls. Uh that kind of
4:10thing. But [music]
4:12uh let me just show you how you can
4:13actually start retracing this. Uh and
4:15specifically, I want to show you [music]
4:16these interior walls, which we're going
4:18to end up demoing. So I'm going to just
4:21grab my wall tool down here and [music]
4:23start tracing. And you can see that it
4:24actually kind of like snaps to the
4:26walls. So, I'm just going to click and
4:28[music] just start tracing. We can
4:30easily move these, so I don't really
4:31have to worry too much about it. But
4:33once you kind of like trace the walls
4:35that you want, you'll just hit [music]
4:36enter. And then, uh, I'm going to go
4:39select one of these walls and just kind
4:41of make it match up with our um,
4:43existing walls from our [music] floor
4:45plan.
4:46And let's add in one more wall right
4:49here
4:50that we want to connect [music]
4:53to our wall here.
4:57Hit done. [music]
4:58And then we can just kind of like move
4:59that up to connect to our rayon wall. So
5:02now what we've got here is these kind of
5:04walls that are going to be indicating uh
5:06demolition. [music] So I want to stylize
5:09these to indicate the demolition. And
5:11now to be clear, you can also, if you
5:14want to go through the process of
5:16retracing all of the exterior walls as
5:18well. For just this tutorial, I'm just
5:20going to show you kind of how to retrace
5:21these interior walls and stylize them to
5:23show them as demo. And then I'll show
5:25you what kind of like a complete
5:26>> [music]
5:27>> uh retraceed product can look like here
5:28in a second. So for demo walls, we're
5:31probably going to show uh something
5:34maybe in red or maybe something hatched
5:36[music] or maybe both. So, in order to
5:38change the style of these walls, which
5:39are just kind of like [music] plain
5:41white right now, over here under styles,
5:43what I can do is I can not only change
5:45the thickness, but I can also change the
5:47fill. So, let's say we want to uh let's
5:52say we want [music] to do it red. And
5:53then we want to also add in um let's say
5:56well, I guess we want to just add in a
5:58hatch here. So, we'll just choose one of
6:01these hatches that looks like a good
6:03demo. [music] So, maybe like those. And
6:06then actually this is where we'll change
6:07it to red. So now we can see that there
6:10is a red hatch applied [music] and
6:12that's going to indicate that that's a
6:14demo wall. Now all these other walls
6:16that I drew are also going to be demo
6:17walls. In order to uh apply that change
6:20as well, what we can do is go back to
6:22that demo wall that we just drew. We're
6:24going to hit the plus sign and save that
6:26as a style. So I'm going to save that as
6:27demo. [music] And then now what we can
6:30do is we can easily access that style or
6:33uh we can just click on the wall that we
6:35want to change and grab our eyropper
6:37tool and then just select [music]
6:38whichever style we want to match. So I'm
6:40going to hold down my shift key for both
6:42of these and then just ey drop that and
6:45[music] it's going to change all of my
6:46walls to match those. Now, the cool
6:49thing is that if you do go um edit that
6:51style over here, if [music] we edit the
6:54style and let's say we, you know, change
6:56those to six inches or something, um it
6:58changes all of those. So, let me do
6:59something a little bit more dramatic
7:00[music] like 12 in. And you can see that
7:03it's changing all of those. So, anything
7:05that has that style applied to it um
7:07will [music] change. Now, if you're
7:09going to be doing the exterior walls,
7:11maybe those are going I mean, obviously
7:13those are going to be their own [music]
7:14style. You can always like, you know,
7:16match the same kind of style that you
7:17had from the CAD drawing or just
7:19complete completely draw something new.
7:21But the nice thing about drawing it on
7:22new layers is [music] that you can
7:24always uh go back and hide your import.
7:27And then like now we just have our
7:28[music] rayon walls. So it's nice to
7:30just kind of keep those visible while
7:32you're tracing. But that is kind of how
7:34you can [music] simply retrace and
7:36stylize some of these like demolition
7:38and construction walls to kind of show
7:41uh the process here. So, let me show you
7:44what this could look like once [music]
7:46you go through the process of retracing
7:48everything. So, here is what the
7:50demolition plan looks like after um a
7:53bit of restylizing, retracing, and you
7:56can see that we've got some styles
7:58applied to the walls. You can clearly
8:00[music] see which walls are demoed. And
8:03then over here, um, I just kind of have
8:05like this nice little blank floor plan
8:06that we can work from. Um, that's
8:08showing, uh, the walls are demoed and
8:11then also any new construction. So,
8:13that's kind of what these blue walls are
8:14indicating. [music] So, this is kind of
8:16where we can, um, start now planning
8:19where we want to add in our staircase.
8:22Now, if you want any more uh further
8:25clarification on how to trace [music]
8:27walls or stylize walls or stylize
8:30anything else, there are tons of videos
8:32on Rayan's YouTube channel um that can
8:35guide you through that. [music] Now that
8:36we are ready to add in our staircase,
8:39we're going to pop into the staircase
8:41design [music] template um that's going
8:43to have all of our lovely staircase
8:46designs uh [music] pre-made for us that
8:48we can either just copy paste or um even
8:51edit. So, [music]
8:53into the staircase design template, this
8:55is what this should look like. And you
8:57can see that we have plenty of different
9:00[music] um you know inspiration images
9:02along with uh floor plan as well as side
9:05views um of these staircase designs. So
9:10instead of you know drawing these from
9:12scratch every single time now we can
9:14basically just select you [music] know
9:16whichever one we want copy that and then
9:18bring that into our working file. This
9:21is just an example of how you can
9:22structure your own process and have your
9:25work compound instead [music] of
9:26starting from scratch each project.
9:28Plus, you're welcome to just use this
9:29template uh from that [music] link below
9:31in the description uh and apply this to
9:34your own projects as [music] well. If we
9:36zoom into some of these, we've got some
9:38very standard layouts. Um, you know,
9:41just like typical L-shape, U-shape, as
9:44well as um [music] these nice round uh
9:48curvy uh more intricate uh staircases.
9:52And again, like I said, they're very uh
9:55drag and drop, copy, [music] paste. So,
9:57this is all just pro work from previous
10:00projects that um [music] I've worked on
10:02that is just ready to be used and
10:04adjusted easily without having to start
10:06from scratch. So, basically in any past
10:08projects [music] where I've used um a
10:10staircase or detailed a staircase uh
10:13that I, you know, maybe want to use on a
10:15future project, I just copy and paste
10:16that here into my template that I can
10:18[music] easily access for future
10:19projects. And then that way I don't have
10:20to start from scratch every time. Now,
10:22of course, every [music] staircase
10:24design needs to be tailored to a space's
10:26size, height, and slope. So, these are
10:28just a handy uh design benchmark [music]
10:31starting point, but they're still
10:33probably going to require some adjusting
10:34and redrawing for [music] each each
10:35project. It's just nice so you don't
10:37have to start from scratch each time.
10:39So, let's go ahead and start uh testing
10:40a couple of staircase [music] types in
10:42our current uh design. Because this is
10:45just like an open cafe space, [music]
10:46maybe we want something more of like a
10:48curved staircase, something a little bit
10:49more sculptural, more like an
10:51architectural moment. [music] Um, so if
10:53we go back into our staircase template,
10:55let's go see if we can find
10:56>> [music]
10:57>> um just something nice and curvy. So I'm
11:00eyeballing this one down here, [music]
11:02which might be a little bit too big, but
11:04let's go ahead and copy it uh just for
11:06fun and go see if [music] that works. So
11:08I'm going to again rightclick, copy as
11:10export, go in here, and then we'll just
11:12paste it. And as I had imagined, uh,
11:15that's a little bit too large for our
11:16space. [music] So, we'll just delete
11:18that one and just go check out that
11:20other curvy staircase here and see if
11:23that one will fit. You can see that
11:25these are numbered. So, [music] stair 1
11:262 3 4 5 6 7 8. And then this is the top
11:29part of it. So, I'm going to grab the
11:30bottom part cuz [music] we're working on
11:31the first floor right now. So, let's say
11:33copy as export. Go back to our model.
11:36Paste that in here. Looks like that will
11:39definitely fit in our space. And I think
11:40we'll just kind of plop that right over
11:42here. Um, now you can see that [music]
11:44this also brought in uh, you know, like
11:47a wall that I don't want and maybe some
11:49detail lines that you don't uh, [music]
11:51necessarily want. So, you can easily
11:53just clean that up. I usually
11:56will clean up most of the dimensions.
11:58Uh, cuz I don't I don't really need that
12:00on this floor plan. You might need that
12:01on more of like a detailed floor plan,
12:03but this one in particular, I do not.
12:05Let's just go ahead and place that right
12:06there. And um that's going to be like
12:09our our staircase moment. I also I'm
12:11going to just go ahead and group [music]
12:12this. So I'm going to rightclick group.
12:13And that way I can easily move that
12:15around without it um losing any pieces.
12:18Now this if this is our other level,
12:21let's go ahead and uh [music]
12:24copy paste the second half of it that
12:26will show up in the other half of
12:28[music] the height of the space. So back
12:30to our template. Let's go grab this
12:32piece that has the rest of the stairs.
12:34Same situation. We're just going to copy
12:36[music] as export. Go back to our model.
12:39Paste.
12:40And then I'm going to delete some of
12:43these details that I don't necessarily
12:45need. Get rid of that. [music] All these
12:48dimensions I don't necessarily want. And
12:51I'm going to rightclick or sorry, I'm
12:53going to window and group. And then uh
12:56we'll place it right [music] over here.
12:58So you can see that um this is kind of
13:00telling the story of uh [music] right
13:03here on the first floor. This is where
13:04our staircase starts. And then up here,
13:06this is where it continues. [music] Now,
13:08when drawing staircase shop drawings,
13:10it's also worth noting that Rayon um
13:13also has a bunch of [music] staircase
13:14CAD blocks directly in its library um
13:16that has over 10,000 blocks [music] in
13:18top, front, and side view for sections
13:20and elevations alongside parametric
13:23blocks. Um and we even have AI block
13:25generator uh which I'll show you here in
13:27a [music] second. So, in order to access
13:29those CAD blocks, uh let's go ahead and
13:31go to the block library. So over here,
13:33I'm just going to click on blocks.
13:35[music] And we'll go to the libraries
13:37here. And you can see that if I go to
13:40libraries, it'll show us all these
13:41categories [music] of different blocks
13:43that are in here. Now, I'm going to look
13:45for stairs and [music] escalators. Let's
13:48click on that and see what we have. So,
13:50again, there are tons of uh really cool
13:52already pre-made blocks in here that are
13:56just completely accessible, and all you
13:57do is just click them, drag them over
13:59[music] here, and um it's just going to
14:01place it directly. So, all we need to do
14:04is just hit open, and then that will
14:06open up our top view, and then also the
14:08side and front view. So, I can just drag
14:10and drop this top view in here again,
14:12see if that works. If it does, we also
14:14have the side and the front view. And
14:17also, if you just want to start building
14:19out a template for yourself [music] with
14:21staircases or other blocks that you use
14:23frequently or like, then that's
14:25completely legitimate [music] as well.
14:27Now, if I go back over here to our
14:30library, I do want to show you that a
14:32couple of [music] these uh staircases
14:34here are showing this little parametric
14:36tag here at [music] the top left, which
14:38means that uh those are going to be a
14:40little bit different than your standard
14:41[music] block. And I particularly like
14:43those because uh you can adjust [music]
14:46the size of them without just like
14:48stretching or compressing the block. And
14:50let me just [music] show you what I mean
14:51by that. So if you do find a parametric
14:54block over here, let's [music] just uh
14:56go ahead and
14:59we'll bring in just like a typical uh
15:01run [music] of stairs. So when you bring
15:04that in, this block is going to look a
15:06little bit different than [music] other
15:07blocks. So, if I select this regular
15:10block, you can see that I've got an
15:11option to kind of scale [music] it up
15:12and down. But on this parametric block,
15:15I don't have those corners to scale, but
15:17you do see these little arrows. And what
15:19that is is that that's actually just
15:21[music] chopping off or adding stairs as
15:24you go. So, what's nice about that is
15:27that it doesn't necessarily stretch
15:28[music] it. It just adds to it. So, um,
15:31that's really easy for if [music] you,
15:34uh, do know that, you know, maybe the
15:35height of the space is changing or you
15:37want to be able to easily just adjust
15:38that. Um, instead of just stretching the
15:41staircase, it's actually adding treads
15:44[music] as you go. When you're in your
15:46blocks, you can add a filter here. Uh,
15:48just say plus, uh, is parametric,
15:51[music]
15:51save, and that's going to show you all
15:53of the blocks that are parametric. Just
15:55look for this little symbol here in the
15:56top left. [music]
15:57um you can also search and it will uh
16:00maintain that filter as well. [music] So
16:02that makes it super easy to find those
16:04parametric blocks. Now what's really
16:06cool about Rayon is that
16:08>> [music]
16:08>> um you can actually transform any of
16:11your models into a template block or
16:13style library by just using the share
16:15button up here. [music] So all you need
16:17to do is just hit the share button and
16:19then um you'll go to [music] either
16:22libraries here and publish the styles or
16:24the blocks
16:25>> [music]
16:25>> um from this model. So for instance, say
16:28you're building out uh you know this
16:30cafe and there are lots of [music]
16:32blocks that you end up using that you're
16:33like I want to be able to use these on
16:35future projects. You can actually
16:36publish [music] all of those blocks into
16:38a block library that are easily
16:39accessible in one place. And then same
16:42for styles. So if you do create like
16:44that demo wall and then the new
16:45construction wall and then [music] the
16:46exterior wall and you're like you know
16:48what those are going to be really handy
16:50for the next project that I'm working on
16:52you can just publish those styles and
16:53then easily access those [music] on the
16:55next projects. Now similarly um under
16:58this template [music] uh section here uh
17:01you can also publish this model as a
17:03template. So, if you want to be able to
17:05use [music] uh everything from the
17:07model, then you can just, you know,
17:09access this entire model again and
17:11[music] um use that as your template.
17:13Now, let's go ahead and see how it all
17:15comes together in the final part where
17:16we're going to set up our client [music]
17:17presentation. So, heading back over here
17:20into our paper canvas, you can see that
17:22we do not have any [music] pages set up.
17:23So, you can either create a page or copy
17:26and paste presentation template that you
17:28already have ready. [music] As we have
17:30kind of noted here, Rayon is obviously a
17:32one-stop shop to go all the way from our
17:34concept design to our construction
17:35drawings and [music] client
17:36presentations. So, what we're going to
17:39use the paper canvas for is kind [music]
17:41of like the display and the
17:42presentation. And then the model canvas
17:44is obviously just our working canvas
17:46>> [music]
17:46>> um where we set up the drawings and then
17:48we always have those up to date and
17:50those are going to live update in our
17:51presentation [music] canvas. So, in our
17:53paper canvas, in order to add a sheet,
17:55we are just going to click the plus
17:57button and add a page. [music] And it
17:58will just add a page right on there for
18:00you. Now, you can continue that process
18:02by [music] adding more pages and just
18:04kind of start laying this out. It's
18:07again suggested that you use uh any past
18:10templates [music] to kind of start
18:11building this to make it easier. That
18:13way, you kind of have like title blocks
18:14ready. You have areas for your mood
18:16boards ready for your [music] uh floor
18:19plans, all that stuff. So once you start
18:21to build this out, this is what your
18:23presentation will end up looking like.
18:26Just to kind of quickly explain how we
18:28got these views onto these presentation
18:30canvases, I just delete this view right
18:32here. So in order to add a view onto
18:35your page, um all we need to do is go to
18:37plus [music] view and then I have uh
18:40renamed my model canvas. So this is my
18:42model canvas that I want and I am
18:44looking for my demolition uh floor plan.
18:47So, I'm just going to kind of open this
18:48up by holding down my shift key. [music]
18:51And this is kind of like everything that
18:53I've been working on. So, [music] uh
18:56once we find our demolition plan, which
18:58is right over here, now we can kind of
19:01scrunch this back in. And, uh, we're
19:04going to need to rescale this so it can
19:05fit on our page. [music]
19:08And once we get that view over here,
19:10I've got all my other views over here at
19:12a 1 to 60 [music] scale. So, I'm just
19:13going to select this view and change the
19:15scale to 1 to 60. [music]
19:18Just type it in manually here so that
19:21way it fits and matches everything else.
19:23And then once [music] you um get it to
19:25the right size, then you just kind of
19:26place it on your page. And uh now we've
19:28got our demo plan [music] right on here.
19:30So then you just kind of rinse and
19:32repeat that for uh all of your other
19:34floor plans, [music] documentation.
19:36Again, we have everything kind of
19:37working on the same model canvas. Or,
19:40you know, you might have them split up.
19:41[music] You might have a model canvas
19:42for your elevations, a model canvas for
19:44your floor plan. Whatever your
19:46preference is, [music] using a
19:47presentation from either a past project
19:49that you've turned into a template, um,
19:51or just a past project is the easiest
19:53way to kind of get this presentation
19:55going. So then that way you have a good
19:56starting point. [music] Um, and even
19:58though you're going to be adjusting
19:59things, it's at least already there for
20:01you to start with. So once we get all of
20:05this looking the way that we want to,
20:07[music] uh, this is kind of like the fun
20:08part where you get to export as a
20:10presentation. So, we can either export
20:13this as a PDF or PNG, which is very
20:15typical um in the design world. So, in
20:18order to do that, you'll just go up to
20:19the main menu here, and we'll just go to
20:20export, and you can either export
20:22[music] uh the images, either all of
20:24them or separately, or export a PDF,
20:27either all pages or separately, and that
20:29will package it into [music] a nice
20:30little PDF. But the real cool thing is
20:32that you can actually uh export this as
20:34a presentation. So URL link that you
20:37don't even have to, you know, take out
20:39[music] of the web and just share that
20:40directly with your client. So in order
20:43to do that, you'll just click this share
20:44button and then presentation [music] and
20:47then just click this on and then that
20:49URL is just what you'll share with your
20:51client. [music]
20:52So when they open it, this is what it's
20:53going to look like.
20:56So they can just kind of like arrow
20:57through and this is like basically a
20:59true presentation. And again, it's very
21:00much like a PDF, but it [music] is right
21:02in the web, so you never have to leave
21:05the web. And then if you make any
21:06updates, all you need to do is just
21:08refresh the presentation and export a
21:10[music] new URL link. Additionally, if
21:12you are working with a team, you can
21:14easily add team members into your uh
21:17project. In order to do that, all you
21:19need to do is again in that share
21:20button, just invite them with their
21:22email and you can make them an editor,
21:23admin, or just a viewer. And then you'll
21:25just invite them and then they'll have
21:27[music] access to be able to collaborate
21:29in real time. And that's the full
21:31workflow [music] from base plan to
21:33staircase design, shop drawings, and
21:35client ready presentations. The big
21:37takeaway is this. [music] When you stop
21:39redrawing staircases from scratch and
21:41start working with templates, blocks,
21:43and detail libraries, your work
21:45compounds, which means your design
21:47decisions get faster, your drawings
21:49[music] get clearer, and your
21:51documentation becomes far more
21:52efficient. If you want to try this
21:54workflow yourself and use the staircase
21:55design template that I showed today,
21:57[music]
21:57you can go ahead and start by creating a
21:59free rayon account using the link in the
22:01description below. Thanks for watching
22:02and I will see you [music] in the next
22:04tutorial.
