Parameters to control prism stairsteping.

**Parameters:**

**model: Model**

Model to create a `PrismStairStep` object with default parameters.

**check\_proximity: bool, optional**

Check whether to enable or disable stairstepping at prisms within proximity of boundary or prism cap.

**gap\_factor\_scale: float, optional**

Scale factor for prism proximity detection gap factor.

**json\_data: dict, optional**

JSON dictionary to create a `PrismStairStep` object with provided parameters.

### Examples

```pycon
>>> prism_stair_step = prime.PrismStairStep(model = model)

```
