That is correct. SEO does not display in plan, a long-standing wish that it did.

No, there is no proper workaround for the long-standing problem of SEO not showing in plan.

You'll have to resort to 2D overlays, such as with the Patch Tool.

Tortuous Work around
1.Construct the stair with seo'ed parts.
2. View object in 3d
3. Save as 3d object
4. insert this new object it will be correct in plan, elev, section & 3d
5.Patch if a little tiny part goes wrong or begin again

A slightly less tortuous workaround involving no SEOs could be to draw the correct shape of the stairs with a fill and separate lines or arcs defining the line of travel (note - not polylines!). Select them then go to 'Design' > 'Create stair using selection'.

Do a search for 'Custom Stair Based on Manually Drawn Elements' in the help files for full instructions.

Hope that helps!
