I'd like to design a ships ladder but the stair tool places limits on the rise to run ratio. can i override this? i just want to make it steeper than the tool allows. thoughts?

Build the stair out of complex profiles. It's fast and you'll be happier.

the specialties library ladders don't offer even less flexibility. complex profiles you say. i've been doing my best to avoid that. i guess i'll have to open up the tutorials now.
thanks
