But there is a trick.
You must have the 'Quick Select' magnet active (or hold the space bar).
Then you will see a 'Multiple Elements (TAB)' prompt.
Press TAB to cycle through the options.
Stair - will not snap to anything.
Tread - will snap to the tread height
Structure - will snap to the structure height under the tread.
Works for both treads and landings.
Make sure you don't move your mouse or you have to cycle through the TABs again.

Please try to post in a relevant section - not just the first 'Archicad=' section.

Hi! Is there a reason why I cannot see the structure option while pressing TAB on the stairs?

Maybe your stair has the structure turned off in the stair settings?

Is the 'Quick Selection' active.
It is working fine for me.

I have that selected almost all the time but something was different. I got the structure tab now but it is making the wrong measurement. The structure height is higher than the one of the thread and it is the same height on all the steps. 😤
