With Cathe, I think one usually has to rely on one's own ability to modify, and not on Cathe giving other options.

Well, I know that she used to do all her step workouts on an eight inch platform but after CTX (I think), she went to a six inch platform. I believe this was also because of her knee surgery, but I could be wrong. However, I do follow her example if the workout has a bunch of jumps, pivots, turns, etc...I keep the platform at 6 inches, but if the workout is less complex, I'll bump the step up to 8 but no higher. I want to keep my knees surgeriless as long as possible !

Since she started using a 6" step way before her knee surgery, I can't see any link there. She did start adding a bit more complex choreo to her step workouts (more turns, 180 and even 360 degree moves) as well as faster speed and/or more impact, so I think those were more the reasons for the change in step height. She did address the question on her site, saying that she found she got just as good of a workout on 6".

The only modifications I've seen are on weight workouts using alternate equipment. Cathe would have Cedie (Supersets) and Brenda (PUB) show modifications if you didn't have a stability ball. Lorraine showed non-medball modifications on the ab portion of Muscle Endurance. I've not seen any modifications on her cardio workouts (but I don't have many of her older ones).
But taking a quote directly from her blog regarding the fourth cardio segment on Drill Max, "Then you will add a piece that involves jumping onto the step. A modification is shown if you don't want to jump." That has been the first and only time I've seen Cathe mention modifications in this set of workouts.
