ArchiStair Questions

I posted these questions a couple of months ago on the Cigraph site, but haven't received any response, so I'm posting them here in hope of feedback:

1)Within the Stair Selection Settings dialog, under "Display UP/DOWN Strings", there is an eye icon and a pulldown with two options: "- - -" and "UP/DOWN". Is this a layer setting for the text strings (and arrow)? I can't seem to figure out what this setting does.

2)The height of the left rail is always equal to the height of the right -- is this intentional, or a bug? In the US, a (wall-mounted) handrail is 34-38 inches above the nosings, and the rail at the inside of the stair (guardrail) must be a minimum of 42 inches high.

Does anyone know a trick for creating a "continuous condition" for two stairs that meet at a common landing? This is what I want (see below):

This is what I've got (see below):

P.S. Handrail is an independent Object that I had to create to get the handrail condition I required.
