Unfortunately the stair finishes do not work with Partial Structure Display.

You can turn them off in the stair, but that will turn them off everywhere you see that stair.

 

I was going to suggest duplicating the stair in different layers that you cn turn on/off for your views.

Turn the treads and risers off in the structural view.

But that actually affects the size and position of the structural part of the stair, it doesn't just hide the treads and risers.

 

I just tried Renovation filters - set the structure to existing and the treads and risers to new, but that didn't seem to work either.

Still can't hide just the treads and risers.

 

And Graphic Overrides don't seem to be able to isolate just the treads and risers - I was thinking of making them transparent.

 

The best I could come up with is to duplicate the stair and set one with air space (transparent) building materials with with 3D outlines.

Thanks Barry, missing core and  finishing functions in the stair structure
