I've been working on close stringers for curved stair cases.  The circular variety is pretty much figured out but the elliptical variety still needs an instantaneous adjustment to the stringer depth since the pitch angle of the stairs (slope) is constantly changing.  The geometry of a 0.9 eccentric ellipse shows off this distortion quite well.  I will hit it again tomorrow and see if I can't figure out a more accurate algorithm for these stringers.  Sometimes I enjoy a good challenge, but this one has certainly had me scratching my head a few times already.

Version 4.6.0 - 06.03.2026
- Added a curved "closed" stair option into the stair module.
- Enabled closed stringers for curved (elliptical and circular) stairs.
- Added a separate layer for stair stringers.

After mucking around with the follow me API call and a few other algorithms I decided to strike out on my own yesterday, and with a little help from ChatGPT and quite a few iterations I was able to finally generate the closed helical stringers. Using the same principle and by rotating the profile I am now able to generate a similar mesh for the handrails. These are high poly but it does look great and we now have eliminated the twisting issue that I had never resolved using other methods. So a major step forward.
