Transcript

The surrounding walls in a stairwell have been modified, and you need to adjust the existing stair to fit in the changed space. ​

Select the stair and click Edit Stairs to enter stair assembly edit mode. ​

Use the Align tool on the Modify panel to align the exterior edges of each run with the interior wall edges. ​

In an elevation view, drag the landing up and the steps are automatically re-balanced between the two runs. ​

After re-balancing the steps, you notice that the stair does not meet the next level. Drag the solid dot control at the top of the run to add a step so that the upper run meets the next level. ​

Use the Align tool again to line up the end edges of the two runs. The landing shape adjusts to accommodate the new run position. ​

The landing shape is not correct. Select the landing, and on the Tools panel, click Convert to convert the landing to a sketch. In sketch mode, you can customize the landing shape. ​

Use the sketch tools to edit the landing boundary to fit the edges to the curved wall. ​

Click Finish to exit sketch mode and save your changes, and click Finish to exit stair assembly edit mode. ​

The finished stair is aligned and shaped to fit into the existing stairwell.
