Always have a hard time placing stairs for front door!

[Takata5]

So I don't know why but I always have a hard time placing stairs for the front door outside! I seem to be only able to place them if they are facing to the sides! I can never place them just facing forward. What am I doing wrong? I've tried both making the foundation first then not having one, and even with the door first and even without a door and still can't figure this out

@Takata5 You should be able to make forward facing stairs at your door, you just have to pull the stairs out about one square from the door for a "landing" to form for the stairs. They can't be placed right up against the building for the door.
