 Add-Side-Bracket-Turnarounds-1 In addition to the stock stair tower types available with Scaffold Designer® 2015, you can easily create stair towers with side bracket turnaround bays.

 

 

   

 Create a Stair Tower:

 Convert the turnaround bays to connector bays.Add-Side-Bracket-Turnarounds-2r1

 

 

Drag the outer corners to the connector bay over the inner corners.

This will result in a 2-dimensional bay which we can use to anchor the side bracket turaround bays. The 2-dimensional bays will NOT show up in the BOM parts list.

 

Repeat for the turnaround bays on the other side of the stair tower.
