Advanced Internal Stairs on a foundation.
1) Build a two story house on top of a foundation.
2) Build a 1x1 room in the corner of the first floor
This will eventually become the middle landing between the
stairs.
3) Now build another 1x1 room on top of a foundation in the
exact position shown in the image below.

4) Next, you will need to turn on a building cheat.
Here is how to do it:
To enter in cheats, press and hold down CTRL, SHIFT and C.
You should see a small white box appear in the top left corner of the
screen.
Type in boolProp constrainFloorElevation false and press enter.
This will allow you to change terrain, even when there are objects on
it.
Careful, this cheat can screw up a house, so only use it where
specified.
5)
Use the small "lower terrain" tool and click in the corner of
the foundation exactly eight times. It is very
important you do the correct amount.
6) Drag the "flatten terrain" tool from the top corner to the
bottom, so that the foundation becomes low and flat like shown above.
7)
With a floortile selected, click again on top of the small
building. It should lower part of the large building like shown above.
8) Now click in the corner that is diagonal to the corner of
the large building. You should see that the whole landing is lowered.
9) Two places
away from the landing, add a new floortile where shown.
10) Using the connecting stairs tool, join the second floor
to the landing.
11) Again use the connecting stairs to finish off your
staircase.
12) To flatten the roof of your building, get a floortile, and drag from
one side of the building to the other. The roof should become flat like
shown above.

13)
You can now turn off the cheats by hitting CTRL-SHIFT-C and
typing in
boolProp constrainFloorElevation true
14) You can now remove that temporary structure you created
earlier.
First remove the floortiles, then the walls, then the
foundation, then flatten the ground.
15) Finish off the 2nd floor however you want.
16) Your advanced internal L-shaped stairs on a foundation are
complete :)
geez is that a mouthful or what? :p
I tried to make this tutorial as easy to follow as possible...
but there are MANY different and possibly more effcient ways to build
these kind of stairs. So as I always say, experiment.
