Orient Brep along Spiral

Hi everyone,

I want to orient a Brep along a spiral. Think something like the steps of a stairs.

Sadly I cant find the right way to make the brep revolve around the centre and use the divided curve points.

My initial thought was to use the "orientation lines" as a direction vector but that didnt work.

I tried using the centre point of the circle but that got not the wanted result.

So for any help how to solve this I would be very gratefull.

Thanks Hyungsoo!

I mean that would work but you created the steps in the definition. How would the definition change if I were to use a solid that I built in Rhino?

I understand what you intend to do and it might be one possible way, but I don't want to choose your path.

You must move your pre-made step to it's exact position of spiral stair as well as transform it, because the position to move and the original object are different in size.
