[Therion] How to change alignment of "steps"

[Bill Gee]

Hello everyone - 

See the attached screenshot.  Notice the area under survey station OC2a.  This is supposed to be some steps going up to the concrete block wall.  

Problem - The lines that show each step are not aligned the right way.  They should be perpendicular to the survey line.  How can I make a line of type "steps" change its alignment?  I used "-attr c 8" to tell it how many steps.  Is there another parameter to attr that tells which way to align the steps?  And is there any parameter that indicates which way is up?

The area is drawn using a line of type "steps".  I started in the right-hand corner and drew in an anti-clockwise direction, making sure the line rejoins itself.  The first segment of the line follows the steps in their up direction.

Related question:  The box under survey station OC2 is also steps.  However, it is red.  I cannot figure out why.  Also, it does not show any steps.  There should be 4 steps in it.

And for those who pay attention - The empty box just north of OC5 should show two steps.

Thanks!
