stringer stops short nosing dimension

[ctc]

Can anyone tell me why the end of the stringer and the handrail at the top of the stairs stops short the same distance as the nosing dimension? Incedentally the handrail at the bottom of the stair extends past the riser the same dimension. If I eliminate the nosing then the stringer and handrail ends at the top riser and bottom riser as desired and expected.

Does this help?

Trim Stringers at Top affects the top end of stringers on a stair run. If you select Do Not Trim, the stringer is cut with a single vertical cut resulting in a point at the top. If you select Match Level, the stringer is cut horizontally, making the top of the stringer flush with the top level. If you select Match Landing Stringer, a horizontal cut is made at the same height as the stringer top on landings. To see the effects of this parameter clearly, you may want to clear the check box for End with Riser.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that seems to have no effect on this issue. If I eliminate the nosing then the stair stringer and the handrail start and stop at the first and last risers respectvely...but the stair require a nosing.

Can you shorten the tread depth the same dimension as the nosing?

**edit** Looking at you example, you will need handrail extensions
at the top and bottom anyway--so perhaps when you add these the slight
dimension deficiency in the sloped railing will not be an issue?

When sketching the stair in plan view, you can leave the boundary lines hangeing 1 1/4" inch from the last thread... see the attached :beer:
