automatic exterior stairway structural framing ?

[DianeP]

Is there a way to generate the support structure for exterior stairs without changing the landings to decks?  I am always going back in and adding posts but wondered if there is a better way to do it.  What do you folks do?  Thanks!

I do what you are doing. Decks can be a pain at times getting the stairs to match up. 

 

EDIT..and even with the decks, there is framing cleanup with the beams and resetting the posts. Either way there is more work to be done to get it right.
