Controlling newel heights in staircases. How to deal with multiple height needs.

Maybe I drew the staircase wrong.  See my pics.

 

I go up a run to a landing, and make a turn from there to the top.  Simple arrangement, gotta be as common as dirt.

 

Chief treats the whole staircase as one, in that I cannot specify newel heights for the various pieces of it.  When I set the newel height for the balustrade at the bottom tread, it is too tall for the horizontal balustrade across the edge of the landing.

 

How is this best done to get section-controllable newel heights?

I must of had a brain freeze.

There is a setting in the staircase specification dbx for Landing Rail Height, but it doesn't affect the newel height.

The best way is to set the newel height to suit the landing, no newel on first tread for the stairs, and then place manual newels on the stairs.
