    rock, with a plugin of my own. I did cheat a little on the u-shaped 12,3,12 set. I created a run of 12 then copied,rotated and moved it into position. The run of 3 was then rotated and moved into place. The elliptical stairs required nothing additional to be done. The plugin has a u-shape option but it assumes stair runs stop and start at a landing.

    well which plugin r u using? πŸ˜›

    Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

        I expect he would have uploaded it here already if he'd been interested in sharing with you.

          Well Dave he never asked for it, only about it, so I fealt no compulsion the give it.

          Rock, the plugin in question is attached. You can access it through the Plugins menu. There are 3 options, Normal, Spiral, and U-Shape.

          Normal is just a straight run with a railing on one side. The steps are a group and the rail is a group.

          Spiral is a circular or elliptical stair depending on the Max,Min width input. It is a single group.

          U-Shape now accepts "turn steps" which replace the landing if defined. This is a single group also.

              G'day Sam, nice little plugin!

              I have some ideas for you to add if you could to extend it a little more.... see attached PDF.

                  Andrew, I will take a look at your suggestion and see what I can do. Some are trivial like asking for and using a given gap between the runs and the height and offset for the handrail. The "in-situ" option not so trivial but I'll see what I can do.

                  Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

                    Thanks Sam, appreciate it!
                    Also for your u-shape stair maybe add a tread thickness and make treads components... Just helps with edits.
                    Well done, mate! simple and very effective tool!

                      Andrew, I think I have incorporated all the changes you suggested except make the treads components. Maybe in version 3.
