What we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and reset that Temporary Hide/Isolate. And then now you can see we do have a bit of an issue on Level Two. So let's go take a look at that.
I'm going to go to my new Level Two plan. And what I really like about these stairs is we can actually use this railing and continue it across. And so the first thing that we need to do is you can see we just sort of guessed on how we wanted our demo floor to go.
So what I'll do is I'll modify that a bit so that we can pick up the stair. And so I'll go to Edit Boundary here, and this is that existing floor to remain. And so we could take it and grab just a portion here.
And so that we're just leaving that little piece, or you could have brought the whole thing down. Either way, it's going to work. But I would recommend going back into your demo Level Two plan now, because we have a conflict now with what we're saying is to be demolished versus what we actually want to keep.
We want to make sure that we're always consistent with that. And so you can see here, I'm just going in and tracing that outline we just created so that we do have consistency with our existing-to-remain and our demo plan. It's always good to go back and double-check those things.

The next thing I'll do is I will select our railing here, and I'm going to Edit Path, and I'm going to continue this path around the corner here. And so I'll use this Pick Lines, and then we'll trim it to have our stair go through. And that's way too long, right? I didn't need to have it go through that far.
But now I can have my railing go through. And what's cool is if you have this Preview checked, it'll actually show you the changes you're making. And then you can get a good idea of what your rail is going to look like.
And I can do the same thing on this side, because we do have a bit of a gap here. So I can Edit Path. And what I want to do is I want to match this one.
So I'll bring it across kind of like that. And then we'll trim it here so that it turns the corner. And because we have Preview on, we can see what it's going to do.
And so you can see how our rail turns the corner there. Looks pretty cool. So I'm going to finish the sketch.
And now we've got our railing in place. And so the next thing to do here is going to be to work on our feature ceiling in the lobby.
