Create Curved Stair

Question

I am evaluating Aecosim for my office and have hit a snag.. 
 I can't find a way to create a curved stair.... 
 ie; stair that follows a gently curving wall... 
 Question: Can Aecosim model a curved stair??? 
 
 Thanks,

Simple answer is yes 
Try typing in spiral staircase in Help > AECOSim Building Designer Help and search for Spiral Stairs. The help topic shows what parameters spiral staircases can be placed by. 
The Stair Maker can also be accessed directly by keyin tfdialog stairs then change the configuration to the spiral staircase icon and then alter the parameters to suit and then place 
Hope that helps

Thank you Tom, I had already come to that conclusion myself... 
Well BENTLEY, why do you not have a curved stair generator in AECOsim?? 
I can do this in REVIT in 10 minutes... 
I want to recommend AECOsim to my firm because I like a lot of things it does but it's really an issue when you're building a model and you run into something that CAN'T be done.... 
I know I can build the stair from scratch but that isn't the point really... 
 
Now I wander what will be the next thing it CAN'T do?? 
Just had to vent...
