Corner Stairs

[jjocsak]

Is there a way to make corner stairs in a deck like this?

Hi Jeff,

If you want the steps with solid raisers as in the photo all I would do is to use Floor By Picking Points on the ground level and just make the floors that become the upper steps thicker by the depth of the step,

If you need the step top to stick out slightly, you could:

1.  Use another floor slightly bigger on top

2.  Use the new Surfaces tool to add a thin surface on top (set zero angle obviously)

3.  Add a nosing to the front of the steps using two Lines at right angles converted to a Member. This will automatically mitre on the corner and has the advantage that you can make the front edges of it rounded if you want (use the D profile). You can also just drag the ends in or out to get them to fit exactly.

The multiple floors option is easiest but you could also make the steps themselves using Members as in 3 above. There is an L shaped profile already (rotate it) or you could modily the T profile to make the lip of the step and the step in one piece. These again should mitre nicely at the corner. Do one, duplicate and elevate and drag the ends in to shorten them.
