@Quenten One spiral sans arrow (and a colorize effect on the cobbles to make them more similar to the rock)

Hard to tell. I've got a lot of brain fog going on at the moment through lack of sleep, so I can't remember if I read your comment before or after I started. It was about the same time, and that's all I can say. Though I have been working on the stairs for several days already. I think the main problem is that I keep changing my mind about the best way to do this or that.

(The arrows are twice the size they need to be so I can get them out of Affinity without them looking fury. Pixelated, that is to say)

@AleD Thank you :)

@Quenten It was a built in symbol, but there is a variant that has no arrow.

Recently (today, actually) I decided that even though there are graphic issues with how well arrows render in isolation, they should all be separate. That means fewer symbols overall because you don't have to have two versions of each set of stairs.

HTML help is not the most reliable way of getting help these days.

I recommend the pdf manual ;)

@Talaraskan It's not the most beautiful step I've ever drawn, but this is the general idea of using single step symbols along a line. Is this what you wanted to do? If it is, then the answer to that part of your question is "Coming soon..."
