# Edit Stairs

The **Edit Stairs** tools allow you to adjust how stair openings appear in the floor plan.

When stairs are captured during measurement, the opening is added to the wall layout. You can then modify how the staircase is displayed so the orientation and direction match the real layout of the building.

Editing stairs changes how the staircase is represented in the floor plan but does **not modify the measured room geometry captured by LX1**.

## Select Stairs

To edit a staircase, first select it directly on the floor plan.

1. Open your saved floor plan.
2. Tap the **stair opening** you want to modify.

The **Selected Stairs** panel will appear, showing the stair symbol and related options.

## Stair Editing Tools

Once the stairs are selected, several editing tools become available.

**Swap**\

1. Tap the **stairs** in the floor plan.
2. Tap **Swap**.
3. Select the desired **stair layout**.
4. The staircase symbol will update in the floor plan.

## Change to a Different Feature Category

If you selected the wrong feature category during measurement, you can replace it with a different feature type without remeasuring:

1. Tap the stairs in the floor plan.
2. Tap **Swap**.
3. Tap the **back arrow** in the top-left corner of the selection screen.
4. Select the required feature category.
5. Choose the appropriate feature type.

The feature will update in the floor plan.

***

## Adjust Stair Direction

If the staircase orientation needs adjusting:

1. Tap the **stairs** in the floor plan.
2. Tap **Rotate**.
3. Continue rotating until the direction of travel matches the real staircase.

***

## Important

Editing stairs changes how the staircase appears in the floor plan but does **not alter the measured structure of the room**.

LX1 measurements define the wall geometry. Stair editing tools only adjust the visual representation of the staircase.
