Stringer not following the stair path

I am new with stair supports. We have a sort of complicated stair with stringers that I need to model. Here are the issues: stringer cuts at the landing:

Second, stringer has a gap with the stair:

and third, the bottom of the stringer is not smooth and it looks like steps:

The last issue happens with the railing too. 

Here are photos of the actual stair to help understand the condition:

I am sorry but I don’t think we are allowed to share the file. Thank you

Do you need this perfection for construction document or presentation ? The presentation looks fine to me.

It needs to look right as we are moving to construction documents

Ok. I don't know why i didn't think of this before but here's the stair in a separate file. Would this work?

This is a tough one; no doubt.  It would take me some time and effort.  I would probably have to use some workarounds to get there.  But here's a quickie to examine. Note that two Stairs are used instead of one.

...an example of a "workaround" I'd likely employ, would be to model the Stringers In-Place (e.g. Architecture Tab=>Component=>Model In-Place).  Of course the treads/risers would be done as a Stair Type, but without Supports.

So you made 2 separate stairs. For the modeling the stringer in place, did you do sweep? and how would the path know to follow the slope of the stair? also, if they are modeled in place, how come they show up as stringer in the stair? shouldn't they be separate? This seems like trouble as we are going to need to build new guardrail and that is installed on the stringer so the stringer needs to be as accurate as it can be

Would you please explain how you did this? also , there is a jump in the stringer on the outer ring which needs to be smooth

Model the stair with no stringers and add stringer using a sweep (you can add a massed surface and pick edges for the path)

The stringers in the RVT I posted are regular Supports - not In-Place Modeled components.  What  I said, is that I would model the Stringers In-Place if it was my task -- assuming the right and left stringer are supposed to be contiguous and unbroken from beginning to end like they appear to be in your photograph.  It ain't easy though, but it's doable.

Ok here is the one with a smooth stringer transition.  I created the stair with two runs and a landing.  Edit it and edit sketch of each run and landing to get the idea.

Would you please explain step by step what you did? I can't make the stringer look right at the landing

Thank you but I need more direction to be able to get this done.

In order to create a smooth transition, the boundary arc of the landing and the boundary arc of the stair run need to be tangential.  In other word, they are  two segments of the same arc.

Why this stringer slopes up? 

raysanziaei_0-1630695510526.png

I think these are tangent, but it still breaks and not smooth. what am I not seeing here?

You, again, modeled the stair as a continuous sketched run.  When there is no actual landing, Revit just assumed that 'landing' is a large tread and stringer sloped to follow the tread.

 

Open the file I revised and attached earlier and reverse engineer it.

Thank you. Now I have the landing stringer corrected based on what you said but still can't get this discontinuity fixed. We field verified the length of the treads so I can't modify the tread lengths to come up with a tangent arch.

Also, for some reason, the top riser doesn't meet the second floor lever. Although I have the "top level" set to "second floor".
