Two bugs perhaps?
Two things I've come across building in arcade that maybe other folks more experienced than me could provide an explanation:
1. Making a path using the Roads tool sometimes doesn't work. I select the tool and the texture and then click on a spot to begin and nothing. Sometimes it works however which leads me to believe that it is just buggy.
2. I placed the "Lodge Empty" asset on my map and added a fire in the fireplace. Now every time after about one minute into play, the lodge catches on fire. Usually, as soon as I enter the lodge the fire goes out, but the last time I entered and caught on fire myself. What is causing this? I can hear a sound effect right before the fire starts.

I don't think those are bugs. The flammable fire is a feature.
For the roads you click and drag to draw.
For the fire, try using a non Far Cry 5 fire effect. Try "Primal Camp Fire Medium Lit" I think the Far Cry Primal fires aren't dynamic and won't catch your lodge on fire. You can move the effect down some so the ring of stones is below the stone slab of the fireplace.

Thanks for the reply Jcoffeycup73,
I will definitely try different fires, as I'm not building a game, just a nice place to work on in my free time.
The road tool works sometimes, so I assume I'm using it correctly. I will reboot my pc before my next attempt and see if that clears it.
Maybe you have another tip for a staircase. The lodge asset does not have stairs, so I have to add it. I think I've tried every set, and they are either too big or too small. I also tried the generics. If there isn't a proper one, I'll try my hand at making one from scratch.
Thanks again,

Ha, I know. The stairs never seem to be the size you need. A lot of times I use a longer set of stairs and then push them down to hide the bottom 2 or 3 steps below the floor. But for the Lodge did you try "Stairs Wood Painted" they seem the right length/height and the texture matches the rest of the woodwork.

You can use generic pieces to make a staircase with a higher slope e.g. 45 degrees.
Treat it as crafting an entire map. To make your character walk smoothly up the stairs place an angled invisible generic custom piece. Should do the trick.
In the same way you angle the invisible piece, do the same with a visible piece and lower it under the stairs.
