I am trying to create stairs that have landings between levels and do not connect directly to the slab of the level. How do I create stairs that double back on top of themselves, and then how do i create a landing at the top of the stairs?

Help menu....tutuorials, multi-level stairs. Easy step by step instructions (pun intended)  You will find that the landings create themselves as you create your stair strings

you can also make a small floor where your landing is and then use the stair tool for just one straight run of stairs

I looked at the tutorials and definately the help section, and I used the multi-story option, but I have yet to find out how to create the landing at the top of the stairs, or how to draw runs on top of runs for stairs that have midway landings between levels. When I try to do that, I get error messages for closed loops and things. Do I need to create half of the stairs and then copy that up with the multi level option? But I'm still left without that midway landing then. I'd rather not have to create a separate floor so that the stair remains a whole unit. Thanks!

you will have to modify your 2nd level floor to create the landing at the top of the stairs. Now for the multi level stair....while in sketch mode drag your stair to the desire number of treads and riser for you 1st run and click.... then place your point close to the desired location for the switch back and click ....start your second run to complete ...you will see that the "landing is created....now throw in some dimensions and modify the sketch to the desired dimensions.... finish sketch. ... now you can move the stairs as a unit to the desired location on the plan.

I just managed to create what I think HTrick was getting at: A run of stairs with intermediate landings that are part of the stair, not a separate floor. The images show the end result, with the settings and sketch. There are a couple of tricks required: 1. Uncheck "end with riser" in the Type Properties. This allows the final riser to be used as a boundary for the top landing, essentially creating a giant top tread. 2. Use the monolithic setting. I couldn't get the stringers to behave properly. 3. To avoid the error messages about closed loops, overlapping lines, etc. Draw the lines as close as you can to each other keeping a tiny space between them. I was able to get a boarder line within 0.0001" of a riser line. I'm still using version 2008. I don't know if 2009 and/or 2010 have better stair creating capabilities.

You can sketch that. Just make sure the outline is split at the end of the winder risers and the end of the adjacent riser because the boundry has a different slope between these points.
