@Ahmed_M_Heteba,

We faced the same situation, We done floor instead of Landing.

@Ahmed_M_Heteba

Build a normal stair then place an extra layer on top of the treads where the height increase.

Or, export the entire stair to SAT. Import it back in as generic model and edit in place to change the height of the odd steps.

What is the reason behind this, physical constraints?

the consultant need it as stairs not model in place , the reason for the small riser is that the finishing in floor landing is a different type...

@Anonymous: You create an architectural stair. Define different finishing height for risers and landings. The concrete height will adapt automatically, the concrete height will follow the height of the finishing. Then select the concrete stairs, go to Properties Palette, make it structural, or check "can host rebar" option.
