    I missed the railing idea.

    OK there is an easier way. The solid wall railing technique will work as well just as it does for a straight wall. I just talked to Louis and he tells me it will work for curved stairs. I just like to do it the hard way.

    Nothing here is impossible, just give someone the time, and they'll find a way.

    Ben's stairs are a little more complex...will be interesting to see if the solid railing wall will work. It would be very cool if it did.

    Okay Louis I give.... how did you control the height of the wall. Is a wall that you manipulated or is a railing and if it is a railing how did you change it to a wall

    Allen,

    Look at my tutorial on making the wall align with a radius.

    What are you all going to do without my tutorials?

    what I can not explain is I got the gyp board finish to wrap over the top of the 2 walls, no wood cap just drywall (I just drew a first floor, no second floor and stairs go to where ever

    Scott,

    I did railing and it does it automatically.

    Mine is supposed to have a wood cap, like I said a buggette.

    I still don't get how you changed the stair railing to a wall. I drew a wall on the inside and outside of the curved stairs and the reshaped it and then I suppose I can change the wall to the stone wall that Ben wanted in the beginning
