Landing for deck stairs

[jjifmeyer]

Trying to create a landing for some deck stairs leading down to a concrete slab (patio).

I cant figure out how to lower the landing?

 

Thanks in advance!

Every deck is a "deck room" and in its spec dialog you can set its height.  The outside staircase I show in this pic has two decks, and the bottom step is a slab that acts as the first step up off grade and the bearing for the stair stringer set.  You need to learn to control stairs, their elevation locks, etc.

 

You may need to do some 2D CAD workout to determine elevations.

Yes, I understand that they are rooms labeled as Deck,

I just don't no where to set the elevation?

 

Could you send a pict where that is?

I imagine it is somewhere here but not sure?

 

Thanks

Type in a new number for "floor."  May something like -30 inches, which equates to four steps down each 7.5".

Thank you so much, it was driving me crazy.

@jjifmeyer you could also just use a landing. They work well every time I need outside stairs and seem to be easier to manipulate / move than rooms.
