In my case, I don’t want my actual steps to be 6” high, so I’m going to go in and edit them. Now, we’re going to use the power of components to make the steps look the way we want. In this case, I’ve typed “x 12” so that I have 12 steps + my original, so 13 total. This will be the number of steps you’d like to have. Without clicking on anything else, type “x” and the number of copies you’d like to create. Click on the opposite corner of the stair you’ve selected. This will allow you to create a copy of whatever shape you have selected. Tap the “control” key on your keyboard to activate copy mode. Now, we’re going to copy your stair tread.
With the move tool active, click once on the corner of your box. To do this, click once on your component, then activate the move tool using the “M” key. Now that you’ve created your component, we’re going to repeat it. I labeled mine “Stair Tread.” Click the create button to create your component. Once you’ve selected your entire tread, right click on it and select the item marked “Make Component.”Ī little box should pop up allowing you to label your component. To do this, select your stair tread item by clicking and dragging a box around it. Now, we’re going to create our stair tread component. In this case, I’ve set the vertical height between steps to be 6”. Once you’ve drawn your tread, use the push pull tool to extrude your step to the height you would like the rise to be between your steps. You can create this either using the rectangle tool, or using the line tool to draw a rectangle. In this case, I’ve created my step to be 3’ W x 1’ Deep. Make this whatever size you’d like your stairs to be. The first thing we’re going to do is draw a stair tread.

In this tutorial, I’m going to teach you how to use components to quickly and easily create a staircase. One of the most powerful functionalities in SketchUp is the ability to use components to create repeating shapes.
