Up/Down stairs act as both an [[upward stairway]] and a [[downward stairway]] on the same tile.  Like the [[downward stairway]] this must be designated on a wall, not a floor like downward stairways can be.

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

# Press {{K|i}} to select "Up/Down Stairs".{{verify}}

# Move the cursor to a position on or near a wall and press {{K|enter}}.

# The spot you marked changes to a blinking green "+" indicating where the area you wish to start carving stairs.
 +
# Move the cursor to any position, across the area you wish to carve stairs and then press {{K|enter}} again.  This area must be a non-built wall.  Any area of floor, construction will not be selected.

# The wall tiles in the area you defined should blink similar to mining but with a "X" pattern.

# Wait for a dwarf to do the job.
