Help! What's wrong with my stairs?

[tanniana]

Hi, I want a L-shape stair with the size roughly like as below to fit the floor from level 1 to level 2, so I draged the stair to make the size to fit.

But it turns out like this, the support carriages are not even at two sides, and offset from the base floor. 

The warning says that I should change the stair run's Relative Top and Base Height parameters, but if I changed them to 0, the length on the short side of L shape would be too long to fit the space.

What can I do with this, please help!

Post the RVT here. Know how?  Attach it to a reply post.

Red flag right there.  Undo it and use Move instead of dragging the grips.

Hi, I attached it now, thanks

[barthbradley]

Nothing attached. Wait for it to fully load before pressing "Post". 

[tanniana]

what do you mean, I will try it, but I guess I moved it, not so sure.

[tanniana]

ok

I mean you should not drag the grips of the stair run when editing the stair.

I am not able to do it, I saw it uploaded, then click  the Post, but it disppeared.

It's lagging today.  Give it a few moments to fully upload.

I started a new project to try it, the problem remains the same.

[barthbradley]

How's it look in 3D? I'm thinking it looks weird because of where the cut plane is for that Section View. 

[tanniana]

It looks like this.

Can you point out in the picture below which dot did you drag?

I'm not seeing a problem with the stringers.   What am I missing?  

[tanniana]

Hi, I moved the red dot, because that's the only way to get the shape I want, the blue arrow cannot get the desired size.

[tanniana]

On the first pictures I post, you can see the support carriage on the left side is lower than the right, and they lifted above the base floor I want it to land.

Yeah.  That is the reason I marked them red.  Don't move them because that would change the run's base and top offset, meaning your run is not at the original elevation.  You can change size and move using any other grips to get what you want.

Green arrows: adjust start and end of run.

Pick arrows: adjust width

Orange dots: adjust location.

Red dots: adjust base on top offset (don't touch them).

Ok, I get it. But can you try the stair with the size I need, with the type Private, and I can see what parameters I may set wrong. Thanks a lot

Try this.  You can adjust a few risers to meet the exact dimension but it should work.
