Struggling to create this stair!

Hello, 

I'm really struggling to create this stair with the stair tool in Revit Lt 2022. 

Images below:

I have no problem drawing the first flight up to the first square landing. But, I get stuck creating that first landing. I get errors saying 'cant make stair'. Through trial and error I've established that it'll work if the sketched landing is set 100mm or so away from the last riser. But, obviously i want to connect to the riser. 

 

The other issue once I've overcome this is to do two flights going in opposite directions starting and ending at the same point. Is this possible? 

 

I could always just create a custom family, but I wanted to persevere with the stair tool as it'll be quicker im sure in the long run if I master it. 

 

Any tips appreciated!

That is the old one.  I thought you have progressed from it to another one.  No?

See if this helps. Note "M" Level and Stair Properties.

I'll have a go with this - thanks for sharing the file. 

 

On question - when you model a stair in three parts like this - are you calculating riser height yourself? 

How does revit know how high each riser should be if you don't go from one level to the next?

You know, here's a better way I think.  The issue I found with your existing stair is fixed by making a couple of modifications.  See your attached revised RVT.
