          Why don't you just draw them? You'd have them done by now.

            Somethings are just quicker 'by hand' - how hard can it be?

                            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 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.

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