stair winders with AC25

I want a stair with starting winders comprising 3 risers going through 90 degrees in a 900x900 bottom portion of stair. Then it will have a straight flight with 11 risers. See Stair with bottom winderStair with bottom winderattached sketch. How do I do it? Archicad can draw the most amazing stairs that might be wanted by 1% of users. Yet drawing simple winders required by many might just be beyond its ability.

Make sure your stair is set to 'winder with equal goings' with the following settings.

Now start your stair with the baseline on the outside of the wider (left side if you are drawing the stair from bottom to top as in your image).

Click once to start, nominate the direction and type 900 into your tracker.

Now go in the direction you want to complete the stair and double click.
