Stairs with split landings

[rjesup]

I have stairs with two split (winder) landings (broad U, not the narrow U Home Designer does).  I.e. 2 steps, split landing, 6 steps, split landing, 1 step and then a top landing outside a door. (see diagram)

How can I set this up to work in Home Designer (2022)?  U-shaped stairs can have split landings, but I need  flights of steps in the middle of the U.   I figured out how to build it roughly without the split landings, and that's ok-ish, but I'd like it to be more accurate if I can.

Thanks!

Side question: how do I enclose the area under the stairs as a closet?

Depends on if Suite lets you build custom landings? Those will be your solution to that. For a wall underneath, you can do it 2 ways. When you build the stairs, uncheck "open underneath". Or you can draw walls under them if you want full width ones. Just make sure your trim board sticks out past the drywall so it will be underneath. Maybe some time with the reference manual will also help answer your questions too

I don't think it will let me do custom landings... if it did, where would they be?  I've looked around in a landing object, nothing obvious.  It *does* do split landings for u-type stairs; perhaps I could fool it with 2 truncated u-type stairs and regular stairs inbetween, and somehow adjust the base heights.... seems unlikely to work

In the stair section, you have landings. You can drag the corners to change the shape of them, if Suite lets you. If you are looking to do anything out of the ordinary, Suite is not the tool for you. It's very limited. Look at the product comparisons on the HD website.Again, read your reference manual so you can find some of your answers yourself

In the 2nd pic, it looks like you were able to build the steps.

 

To add more info about that, 

Suite does allow custom landings, but that is not necessary.

-Draw the 1st 2 bottom steps; allow space for a landing; draw the set of 6 steps; allow space for a landing; draw the final step.
Click at the top and bottom of the 6 steps, and the landings should automatically generate.

 

Looking at the space you have, and depending on ceiling height, the step riser height will be a steep,  almost 9".

 

For the closet beneath the stairs, like Rookie65 said, draw an interior wall and drag it under the stairs.
