This will carve an up stair into a wall. Unlike a [[downward stairway]], this cannot be designated on a floor. If no wall is present it can be built using the build interface ({{k|b}}{{k|C}}{{k|u}}).

# Press {{k|d}} to open the designate menu.

# Press {{k|u}} to select "Upward Stairway".

# Move the cursor to a position on or near a wall and press {{k|enter}}.
 +
# The spot you marked blinks {{tile|+|#0f0|#000}} indicating where the area you wish to start carving stairs.
 +
# Move the cursor to any position across the area you wish to carve upward stairs and then press {{k|enter}} again. This area must be a non-built wall. Any area of floor or construction will not be selected. Usually, this is just a single tile.
 +
# The wall tiles in the area you defined should blink similar to mining.
 +
# Wait for a dwarf to do the job. For each upward stairway, you will need to designate/build a [[downward stairway|down stair]] or [[up/down stairway|up/down stair]] on the [[z-level]] above.
