how do I manage the 2D representation of two double-flight staircases when they differ in riser and

"Good morning, can someone help me manage the 2D representation of two flights of stairs? The problem is as follows: I have a building consisting of a ground floor (PT) with a level difference of 2.40 meters, a first floor (PP) with a level difference of 2.90 meters, and finally a terrace. To connect the ground floor and the first floor, as well as the first floor and the terrace, I used two staircases (double flight) that necessarily have different riser (a) values. For this reason, when I view the first-floor plan (host floor), I cannot correctly set the elevation of the section mark in such a way that I can see:

  • The sectioned part of the staircase connecting the first floor and the terrace;

  • The part of the staircase connecting the ground floor and the first floor above the section mark.

I have tried some options, but I have not seen any improvements. Given that the two staircases have different risers, setting the section mark based on the "Cut plane height of the plan" is not suitable because the staircases are sectioned in different areas. I then tried to modify the height of the section mark of the staircase starting from the first floor so that it was close to the elevation of the section mark of the staircase below, however, I get the result shown in the figure, and despite trying to edit it (Edit Mode), I cannot bring them closer.

Furthermore, when I try to modify the height of the section mark in "Personal Height", the symbol does not respect the set elevation (for example, in the figure, the staircase connecting the first floor and the terrace is shown, for which I set a "Personal Height" of 1.60m, however, the symbol is placed at the 10th riser (10x0.18 = 1.80 m)). Moreover, if I try to change the position of the section mark using the "At the nth riser" mode, it only moves for some riser values. Why?

In conclusion, how do I manage the 2D representation of two double-flight staircases when they differ in riser and tread?"
