    Double Staircase (Grand Staircase)?

    Hi All! Just started working with Home Designer Architectural 2014. My first question:

    How do I make a double staircase, such as the one shown in the attached picture? Ideally, I would have two staircases from the first floor: one from the left and the right, leading to a common landing. From the landing, there would be two steps to a hallway at the 2nd floor level.

    I can get everything to work - except adding a second staircase from the floor to the landing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    you could use 2 landings butted up against each other or you could just jog the floor out and have the stair cases terminate into the second floor.

    David,

    Thank you SO MUCH. Your personalized Youtube video was the absolute best way to answer my question. I can't thank you enough for your generous help!

    I'll try to remember to post pictures of my finished product. I'm well on my way now!

    Best,

    Donald
