Stair Balustrade | Fabrication Drawings
Raked balustrade following stair pitch. Posts are plumb (vertical), rails follow the stair angle. Specify pitch via rise/going per tread or by angle.
Configure Stair Balustrade dimensions and download professional A4 PDF fabrication drawings with orthographic views and dimension lines. No CAD software needed. Sub-millimetre precision from a true 3D solid model.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I get in the drawing pack?
Each drawing pack is an A4 PDF with orthographic views (front elevation, side elevation, top view, and isometric), full dimension lines, extension lines, and a professional title block. You also get a live 3D preview in the browser and optional STEP file export for CAD software.
Can I use this drawing for fabrication?
Yes. Dimensions are computed to sub-millimetre precision from a true 3D solid model, not approximated from a template. Print the PDF at actual size, hand it to your fabricator, and build from it. Change any input and the entire drawing regenerates in about 60 seconds.
How long does it take to generate a Stair Balustrade drawing?
Around 60 seconds end-to-end. Geometry computation runs server-side in a CadQuery process with a 30-second per-request timeout; PDF rendering and download account for the rest. If you change a dimension, regeneration takes the same ~60 seconds — there is no manual redrafting step.
Can I save and reload my dimensions for the Stair Balustrade?
Yes, on the Fabricator and Fleet tiers. Saved jobs store every input you entered and reload the configurator in one click, so you can revise a quote, regenerate a clean PDF, or branch a design for a similar customer without re-typing dimensions. The free Explorer tier doesn't persist jobs, but you can still copy your inputs out manually.
References & technology
Category: Balustrades. Tags: balustrade, railing, stair, bars, fabrication. Geometry built with CadQuery on the OCCT (OpenCascade Technology) kernel — the same geometry foundation used in FreeCAD and a number of commercial CAD packages. Drawings are orthographic projections of the computed 3D solid; no view is sketched or scaled from a template.
