which floor to start stair design

Is it better to start the stair from the second or first floor?

I agree with coach. One reason is that just in case you can draw a stair that is completely visible from a single layer with no cut tool, it has to be the second layer. Drawing the entire stair on the first layer = fail. So start on the second, work downward and use the cut stair tool when you are coming down, then flip to the first layer, do the cut stair again and finish it out. You'll have to work calls and heights both ways, but draw top down.
