@Bogie, I agree the grid is a little distracting on the stairs. That can be masked out later prob. As for the direction of travel, do BOTH sets look like they are going down?

How can I make the top set look like they are going UP and the bottom set look like they are going down?

Thanks in advance for any input! I may be getting to bed soon, but I'll be back at it, bright and early in the morning.
