    Most likely, it will need to be perpendicular to a building.

    Attach them to the platform that you created.

    Do this until they reach the 'floor'.

    Use the inference point to stop it at the right location.
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/d6\/Create-Stairs-in-SketchUp-Step-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Create-Stairs-in-SketchUp-Step-5.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/d6\/Create-Stairs-in-SketchUp-Step-5.jpg\/aid1606707-v4-728px-Create-Stairs-in-SketchUp-Step-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":330,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":522,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Once you complete the 'loop', the surface will fill in.

    Use inference to match the width of the platform.
