Porch step problems

[lgswe]

I have a 28' wide porch that is 14" above the ground across the front. I have 5 post going up to a beam spaced evenly across. I want to add a step across the entire front. when I place the stair and start to increase it's width the stair start screwing my post placement. How does one handle this? The stairs keeps trying to install a doorway all the way across the front of the porch thus changing the post placement. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Would I just be better off using p-solids for the step and move on? I like using the stairs encase I fudge around with the terrain later.

Use slabs for the steps. They will adjust with the terrain and they are appropriate in terms of Layer, Material, etc.

Joe.....So what you're telling me is that this is a flaw in the way the stairs work, which isn't really a problem. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

Larry, there is a setting for whether or not stairs cut a rail opening. I can't access CA right now, but the setting is there somewhere.

You can use the Stair dbx to change the behavior. See pic
