curved Stairs - Problem with planar surface creation

Hi all,

I have modeled this stairs for a house patio.. but I don't know how to create a clean topology for the top of the stairs.. all I need is a plane area, with quads, and I don't know how to create this area..

The area i'm talking about is the curved shape on top of the stairs..

This is the zip that contains the scene file: patio.zip.

Also, I need an help to the UV unwrapping of all the stairs..
As you can see, the UV are pretty messed up..

Ok I have looked at your model. The edges need beveling as you have some very sharp edges that will not look good in a render. You seem to have added edge loops to smooth it? They wont work as it is, I would also just grab the top edge and do an extrude then play with the vertex positions to equalise the plane that you want..

If I get time I will have a look at it over the weekend.
