Yeah, I've lived in split-level houses before. The street view pics of the house in my first post was a house I used to live in over 30 years ago (although it didn't have the covered landing or the side driveway-- used to just slope straight down to the back & we would ride sleds down the hill when it snowed.
Another house I lived in had a landing with L-shaped stairs. It also had some spaces where the floor was lower for two of the first floor rooms. I even had an apartment once where there was a step down before going to the front door.
I tried the tutorials from Kate Emerald but had trouble getting things to work properly.
