Edit Stairs, select Stair and check the Relative Base Height under Properties. Is it greater that zero?

Wait a minute. So the Structural Depth is 5" and the Riser height is 6"; is that correct? Well then, you need to fill that space with something. You decide what.

Yes the gap is of 2inches

this is the gap of 1inches and Relative Base Height is 0

is there any other way ? other than filling that gap with some other material ?

Make the Structural Depth 6".

but what if the structural designer design the stairs in 5" or 4" thickness and the riser height is 6" .

Look it - it ain't rocket science. Do the math. If the Structural Depth MUST BE 5" AND the Riser Height MUST BE 6", then you have a 1" gap. 6" minus 5" = 1". You need to figure out a solution. That's part of the design process. How are they supposed to install this pre-fab stair flight in the field?

ok thanx.

now i got it . Structural depth and riser height should be kept same then only we would not get any gap .

What about this instead?
