I've done my best searching through the Forum on this and have found some guidance but I'm still struggling against something that I think might not be possible... or at least not without using additional tools.

I'd like to create a multi-level stair that has both middle and top landings generated by the Stair tool... and I'd like to be able to remove a portion of the stringer on the top landing where the door would be. If it can be done then I think I'm close... I'm very, very close.

See the attached file for where I'm at so far.

In addition to wanting to remove the stringer I also need to extend the bottom rail down at an angle for another 11" and then have it turn out flat. Ordinarily this wouldn't be a problem except for how I've worked the top landing to wrap around... it's causing me fits with that rail.

Take a look and tell me what you think... and if there's another, better, way to do this I'm all ears.

You've probably moved on or figured it out by now? You can edit the sketch of the stair, select the landing boundary line and give it a negative 3" offset to drop it down. That's about as close as you'll get to that I believe.

Not bad... and I can split the boundary along that stringer to affect just the area I need... thanks.
