trimming stairs to wall

Hi!

Is it possible to trim a staircase to a wall? I have a curved wall and I want my stair to be connected on it and go along, I tried solid element operations but didnt work and I cant seem to find a way to trim it. When i search online all i find is ways to trim a wall to a staircase, not the other way...

Thank you!

hm...could you explain that a bit more? or maybe i link to a tutorial? I've tried the "create stair" tool in the stair options but the stair shapes seem pretty standard and cant find one that suits me, do you mean using the profiler? I havent used it before and cannot find a tutorial about using it for irregular stairs...

Thank you! I actually searched what you told me earlier and found this very helpful page http://www.scribd.com/doc/46616056/473/Custom-Stair-Based-on-Manually-Drawn-Elements

Thank you again!

You can't SEO the section of stair to the side of the wall away but you could add a slab the shape of the area you want to cut away and then use that for your SEO.
