I am going to assume that the person that gave you a downvote did so because you attached a layout instead of a plan file.

 

Regardless, what would be even more helpful than the plan is a picture of what you want the steps to look like.  My best guess is that you can create them using landings because a landing can be made almost any shape you want.  A railing that matches what you want can be a bit more tricky.

Newell,

Ah...I think I realise what you want now.

Something like this?

This is done with a straight stair section and 2 treads in a curved stair section at the bottom.

Do you want the left hand stringer and rail of the 2 lower steps to be a straight line (ie, what angle?), or do you want the stringer and rail to bend between the 2 steps like the attached picture? 

You need to attach a plan file - not a layout.

      Stair Starter Tread Question
      By JKEdmo
      Good morning.  Working in X15 and on a remodel where we are opening up an existing stair to an adjacent room.
       
      (Note that in screen shots below, the fine dashed red linework is demolition reference display plan as underlay)
       
      So, I've got the stair up against a wall with a half-circle starter tread opposite as existing condition:
       

       
      When I delete the stair wall, the second starter tread automatically pops into place:
       

       
      I want to keep the stair to only have a starter tread on one side.  Is this doable in X15?  When I try the starter tread edit handles, it affects both sides.
       
      Thanks again,
       
      Jim

      Stair Question
      By JKEdmo
      Good morning,
       
      Trying to figure out why I have a second dashed line at the edge of my stair plan about 1/4" outside of the stair width itself.  What controls this?
       
      Also, the railing seems to align with this too.  How can I get the railing to align with edge of stair?
       

       
      Zoomed in:
       

       
       
      Once again, thanks for your help.

      Stair Dialog For Height not working properly?
      By Doug_N
      From the help text for this DBX here is how the height reference is supposed to work.
       
      The Top Height Reference values control what point on the staircase the Top Height value, below, describes.
      Select Floor/Landing for the Top Height value to describe the height of the top tread plus the stated Riser Height.
      Select Top Riser for the Top Height value to describe the height of the top riser.  (I have copied this text and pasted it in the graphic as well.)
       

       
      Except that doesn't work if Automatic Heights is checked.  In fact, once OK is clicked the default goes back to Floor/Landing.  Why is this?  Is this just my installation or is this true for everyone?

      Stair Rail Quandary
      By DRyeHD
      I've searched the forum topics and training videos but can't find anything specific on this, so  I'm requesting input on a few stair rail quandaries.
      Per the attachment: 
      1,  I'd like to stop my stair rail when it butts to the 2nd floor platform but still have balusters in the triangle space below the platform
      2.  The railing continues through the platform and will not allow the upper railing (shown in the camera views) to extend to the top of the stairs
      3.  I've used an invisible wall at the top of the stairs and there is a lone framing member displayed where a newel post should go.  How can I get rid of the framing member and place a newel post?

      Curved Stair into Corner
      By DRyeHD
      What is the best way to get the wide(left) side of these curved stairs to go into the wall corner?
