Stairs example question for experts

Need some help to make a simple shape for one stair using copy/duplicate SOP.
My problem is that the STEPS are getting widder and bigger for each copy. I want to maintain the same width for all steps.
Probably could be some type of trick using bbox…
P.D. I dont want any copy_to_points workflow.

'Experts' would not pile boxes on top of each other to get stairs Youll get lots of overlapping polygons that way.

I didnt look into copySOP for a while and foreach is unnecessarily complicated for this, but you could subtract a horizontal from a vertical gradient across a grid and delete all black polygons from it to get some stairs.

Thanks, your file works. But I need all steps separately because I intend to apply Bevel to them after.
For the moment I got it with PolygonMesh(height,width..of the stepts) > Copy (numer of steps) > transform+Bool(to cut backfaces).
But the question remains there… a “tricky” or something to use a COPY node only, and get same width in the steps.
