Stair structure with central beam

Here's a new technical support issue that I wanted to share with our users.

QUESTION:
I need to design a stair structure with a single central beam and evenly distributed treads.

ANSWER:
To create this kind of structure, simply follows these few easy steps:
- insert the stairs object;
- from the properties toolbox, in the "type" field, select "Timber (on load bearing beams)";
- in Beams, "Numero", type "1";
- in the "RISER LINING" - "Thickness" field, type in the value: "0";

Then, to create an overlapping effect for each of the treads, type in a value in the "Front (overlap)" field in "TREAD LINING".
