I have drawn this circular stair, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to be displaying correctly or I am doing something wrong - of course. See how the riser is at the bottom tread is projecting back after the curves. It is not sketched this way in plan. It is like this on all treads, so when I use the plan to split the wall based on the risers lines, it is off. I have the nosing set at 1" and treads at 10" which on a straight stair will give me 11" tread as I have done in this same project and it is correct. I am not sure where the 10" measurement is for the curved stair or how revit determines that. But it seems to be trying to make up the difference or something.

Could you explain a little more what the specific issue is?

Is it that the curved tread returns under the nosing or is it the wall projection?

It is the tread return under the 2nd riser nosing. Notice too that the nosing is not showing up on the curved stair treads. This is a bug as confirmed by ADSK, they are looking into it. The problem I am having now is when you use the "riser" tool, you are not drawing the riser, but rather the nosing. I think you should draw the riser (front face or back face as you need) and the program can add the nosing after the fact. This tool is miss leading. On straight stairs, I guess it is ok, but on the curved stairs, you have to plan for this offset or you get strange things happening with the treads as shown in the picture. Funny thing, it appears the riser tool worked for the bottom step, but elsewhere, the nosing is what was actually drawn.

The wall joins would work fine if you could use the "riser" line for the split in the wall, but since it is the nosing, you have to know the offset around that curve.
