Stair Tread

[kathey1]

Quick question:

Is there a way of creating a stair tread that is not rectangular ?

The leading and trailing edges of the tread are defined by the riser lines in the stair sketch. The outer edges (the stringer line) is defined by the boundary lines.
In some case the basic tools can't do the job so you may have to respor tot some workarounds. What shape are you trying to create?

Not with the general stair sketch...that wants two boundaries....

But you can create a generic family and enter it in a baluster family and create stairs that way...
