Staircase - Starting from a corner

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi, I'm having a problem building a staircase.

On the left I built a 3D staircase very simply using individual floor slabs with 2D annotation over the top. Now I'm learning about how to use the proper 3D stairs but so far I can't figure out a way to get the 3D to match the 2D. I need my staircase to have the angled corner style, but I also need the staircase to START on the angled corner like it's shown on the left. Anytime I try to manipulate the 3D stair it snaps to a straight run. Is there a tickbox somewhere to specify 'start on the corner' or a work around that anybody knows of?

Also, how do I control the style of the stair run arrow, I want to take off the little circle at the end.

I'm running ArchiCAD 22.

Thanks!
Hannah

So, all I could do is to take an old trick and just cover that last Tread on the Floor Plan with a Fill that has the same background as the Floor Plan Viewpoint.
Laszlo:
Very well illustrated solution. Rather than a fill to hide the last tread, my standard pen set has a series of white lines that are a bit thicker than the standard pens. So I can simply draw a white line or polyline over any element that I want to hide. I have found this quicker than using fills.
