StairsEditScope.Start

Description:
Creates a new empty stairs element with a default stairs type in the specified levels and then starts stairs edit mode and editing the new stairs.

Remarks:
A new stairs will be created after this operation. User will need to start a transaction to actually make changes to the stairs element. StairsEditScope can only be started when there is no transaction active Thus it does not work for commands running in automatic transaction mode.
