The Canadian Building Code says that winder stairs must "converge on a centre point". (I had a building official catch me on this one)
How do I do this with SoftPlan?

You can also make the stair radius and the stair width equal ...

Hi Ben
BC code has winder treads min 255mm(10”) 200mm(8”) from narrow end of tread
the treads will converge at a point, just not at the wall, more like softplan does it
not sure if part 9 is the same for you but I thought BC adapted the national code.
see 9.8.46.3(3) and table 9.8.4.2(1) for private residence
also don’t forget continuous railing
hope that helps, but we all know the code is subject to the authority having jurisdiction. Lol

Ontario code is treated the same for winders. They converge at a point in the corner of the staircase.

That will get you like Ben’s picture on the right side
That's what I thought he was trying to acheive.
