Winder Stair in AC21

Like most, I was very happy to see the new stair and railing tools. I'm completely baffled, however, on how to create the illustrated winder stair. I've tweaked every setting I can find without the proper result. Anybody worked with the tool enough to have an idea?

Dave,

I do not see this option in the Walking Line component of the Stair.
Your only option now would be to modify its 2D GDL Script to add this capability.
Unfortunately, a significant oversight in tool design. It worked properly with the old tool, so I don't think it's a European/US convention difference.

Dave,

Please create a wish for this and post its link here.
Then we can submit the wish for GRAPHISOFT so they know people still need this feature.

By the way, I think it should not be very complicated for a GDL guru to modify the script of that "Walking Line" GDL Object to do what you need.
If any of the GDL guys would do it and upload the new GDL Object here I think the community would be grateful (unfortunately, I currently don't have the time for it).
