Why shareable stair design URLs matter
When a stair design lives in its URL, you can share it with a builder or client and reopen it later, without an account or a project database.
The URL holds the stair design
When the stair parameters are encoded in the URL, sharing a staircase design means sending a link. The design reopens without a login, a database record or an exported file.
That helps most in early planning, when dimensions change often.
Faster collaboration
A homeowner can send a link to a builder. The builder adjusts the step count or opening and sends the updated link back.
Both of you work from the same live model instead of a screenshot that leaves out assumptions.
Use PDFs for milestones
Share URLs suit iteration. PDF exports suit snapshots, quotes and records.
Send links while you explore, and export a PDF once an option is worth keeping.
Put this into practice
Open the editor and test these numbers on your own staircase, with live drawings and a comfort score. No account needed.
