What should I do with the stairs in the structural drawing?

In the structural drawing, the tread and riser should disappear first. How can this be done?

Deselect "finish" in the stair settings dialog. Alternatively you can use Profile for riser and tread and select "Finish" for this components  in Profile Manager, and then select display "without finishes" in Partial Structure Display.

But as I have notice, it only works for 2D Sections and for 3D views, but doesn't works for 2D plans.

 

By the way, it would be nice if the Partial Structure Display had an impact on the display for 2D plans of the stairs structure as well.

I'm working on version 25.
I don't understand, so please attach an image if possible.

If finish is off, tread & riser cannot be used.

Are you saying it can't be done on a floor plan?

You have to select  Profile Tread 25 in dialog settings and then apply your profile:

Step 1 and step 2

Then select "finish" for your component:

Step 3

 and then select display "without finishes" in Partial Structure Display.

But as I mentioned above, it only works for 2D Sections and for 3D views, but doesn't works for 2D plans:

But remember, when you select "Without finishes", all components that have a "finish" marker in the project will disappear. So it is a solution for some simply cases only.
