    Turret stair

    Hi,

    I need to re-create the stair as shown in the attached image.

    What looks like a solid wall at the inside is actually only below the stair.

    I've manually pulled straight stair sections at the portions that I could.

    At the 45's, I manually drew landings and adjusted them to the adjacent

    walls & stairs. The stairs and landings generated well enough, but my rail

    looks awful. Is there an easy way to get my stair/landing rails to

    correctly connect and transition in a single beautiful arc?

    Help.

    I would use an inside radius for that stair which would give you uniform tread spacing and solve your railing problem. Tread widths should be uniform along the travel line for a comfortable and safe (safer) stair.

    Thank you kind sir.

    Although not as exactly as prior, your safety comment makes sense
    ...., not to mention a beautiful rail.

    pic attached.

    Thanks again.

    Your welcome.

    Looks much better and more "user friendly".
