{{Tool infobox

The '''Stairs''' tool draws a straight flight of steps in one drag.

== Drawing stairs ==
# Pick '''Stairs''' on the toolbar.
# Press on a surface (or in empty space) and drag out the staircase's footprint.
# Let go and drag upwards to set how high the stairs climb.
# Click to finish.

While drawing:
* {{Key|Scroll wheel}}: turn which way the stairs climb (four directions).
* {{Key|Ctrl}}+{{Key|Scroll wheel}}: change the height of each step.
* {{Key|Ctrl}}+{{Key|Shift}}+{{Key|Scroll wheel}}: change the depth of each step.

{{Tip|A player steps up 0.457 m without jumping, so keep '''Step Height''' below that. 0.25 m is a comfortable stair.}}

{{Tip|Bots and players often find a smooth ramp easier than stairs. A collision-only ramp brush over a visible staircase gives you both: the look of steps and the feel of a slope. See [[Level Editor/Entities/Brush#Collision-only brushes (clips)|clips]].}}
