Sketchup and a winder staircase
-
For a set of house plans I am finishing for a client, the staircase is to be included in details. I did the model of the stairs in SU, and have detailed the parts with dimensioned layout drawings for each. A look at the stairs, and a screencap from one of the drawings, is attached.
If you have done this for stairs, please show me your method and results, if you can. I am interested in simplifying this process however possible. Thanks.

I've done stairs with landings, but no winders. Screencaps look nicely done, but it's hard to tell about process without the skp file. I did learn one trick about drawing stairs: draw a vertical line from floor to floor, then divide into segments equal to the number of risers. This gives a "story pole" for constructing the treads at the correct height.
