Stair Tread Option in Advance Steel

[Anonymous]

Our client specifies for stairs a "Borden Type WB-6 (1 1/4"x3/16") tread with checkered plate nosing, or equal".  Is there an "or equal" in the list of options in the Stair command, or how would I add this?

Borden is not integrated, but you could add a complete new database or you add it to an existing one.
you had to open the management Tools and then the table-editor, open the databases and than have a look in the AstorGratings.
For example Grating_US_Imperial. On the right side you see alle gratings which are included, you could add a row by copy an existing one and use the name you want. After reopen the database in Advance, you could them in the stairs macro.

Thanks.  I thought that might be the way to go about it, but wasn't sure.  I've got a little bit of time now, so I'll give it a try.  One of the McNichols gratings looks close to the Borden, so I'll copy that.

Thanks for your suggestion.
