Staircase Notch Design

For Additional Information See: Group Selection/Merge Openings

Click New Mat Design on the FrameShop Main Page.

Click Cancel on the New Openings Screen.

On the Openings Tab, bring over a template #111: Quad onto the Editor.

Click on the Properties Tab to edit it.

Enter the desired size for the #111: Quad opening.

• Remember that we are going to merge two of these templates together so keep that in mind when sizing the design.

Click on the Quad Tab.

Select Template #201: 4 Staircase for Quadrants 1 and 3.

• Alternatively, select #105: French Stair for Quadrants 1 and 3.

Copy and Paste the edited #111: Quad so that we have two openings.

Click on the Bottom #111: Quad opening.

In the Rotation field, enter 90 for the degree of Rotation.

The #111: Quad will be rotated 90°.

Move each of the #111: Quad openings into the center of the mat.

Select both openings and click the Group Selection button.

The two openings should merge where they overlapped.

If you need to make an adjustment to the design, click the Group Selection button to unmerge them, then click on the background to unselect them.

Re-edit as desired and then regroup them again.

The edited Staircase Notch design is now completed.

NOTE: You can repeat this process to merge any two templates together in any configuration as long as they share the same Bevel Type.
