Activate “X-Y Plan” window by clicking on right window area, make sure that current
plan view is at Z = 0 by clicking at the top of this window. (If not using Move Down in
List or Move Up in List to change Plan view elevation) and draw the
selection rectangular to cover all nodes at bottom of stair as shown in figure below.
