The top of the 2nd story flooring is 121.375" from the top of the sill. We also need to add 1.5" from the basement slab to the sill = 122.875" total rise

The actual stairway rise will depend on the height of the landing:

With 2x6s and 3/4" planks (6.25" total) it will need to be 116.625"

With 2x8s and 3/4" planks (8" total) it will need to be 114.875"


15 steps of 7-3/4" (the maximum allowed by code) is 116.25"

15 steps of 7-5/8" provides 114.375"


The landing or the top step can be adjusted to make up the difference

FreeCAD workbench to generate stairs

(Note: The generated steps need to be rotated 180 degrees for use in SEH2. If you create a simple copy, you can set the placement angle to 180 deg and then adjust the x, y, and z position to position the stairs. x=349.35" and y=186.125" should align them in the stairwell. Adjust z as needed to move them up or down to meet the landing.)
