    Deck board direction changes

    Is it possible to change the direction of deck boards? Is it possible to change the direction of only some step boards while leaving other stair or deck boards alone? Can you create corner steps for a deck that wrap around a 90 degree corner?

    First, you need to define another material with the boards (Angle) set at 90°, so that you have 2 identical materials defined - except for the Angle setting.
    Go back to the plan and draw a wall at 45° where you want the floor material to meet. Define the wall as invisible.
    In the Room Specification dbx for each 'room', go to the materials tab and set the floor materials as required.
    ie., set one room with the floor material as the material with the 0° angle and set the other room's floor to the material whose angle you defined as 90°.
    The flooring material will meet at 90° where you drew the invisible 45° wall.
