Or even experienced help needed.

These are treads for a staircase i need a little help with.

I can create a region, extrude it along a path, and there is 1 tread of a staircase.

now... when you get to the curved step (as in a spiral staircase). how do you create a region of that tread , then extrude?

image attached to show what i mean.

First image shows me creating a region, then extruding it along a path (straight line)

The second example is the problem, i cannot create a region from a shape on 3 planes.

Can you draw a plan view instead of a elevation for both the tread and riser? Extrude each one along the "Y" axis.
