I use AC 14 and i have a new stair built by me.It worked a while, but today it didn't worked...and i don't know why....I simply press execute and nothing happens....
With other stairs it works but not with mine....

Look's like i'm lucky
The problem was solved by increasing the offset of the upper winder.
[The Offset was zero.Set by me.Now it's 0.010 and i have 2 stairs on the upper windet instead of 1]
Check the image, please.

You've discovered an unfortunate limitation in StairMaker. It doesn't work with a zero offset winder. It is a tricky thing to build but they do exist.

One way you might be able to hack this is to duplicate the stair that works and drop it in the same place as the original. Modify it so it will cut the wall. Perform the SEO on the modded stair and the wall. Put the modded stair on an operator layer that stays hidden. Keep your working stair visible and it should look right.

I don't understand why people even try to use the stair maker.
Do you ever get it to look exactly like you want it?
Just model it!
