I have tried so many work arounds and I have no idea how to make this work. I have a ramp that curves around a curved area. I need landings and I need everything to be where it is in the photos. I didn't do a ramp because those don't play nicely and won't allow me to freely make a curved ramp like this. How do I get the ramp to play nice? Is really the only way to do this is by faking it? It is a lot of work to make so many ramps like this, but how would anyone else do this? I am using Revit 2016 and as of right now I am just making it work in plan, but it most definitely does not work in elevation. Pleases help

Is your floor sketched with spline or ellipse, a free form as you mentioned? Yeah, …the only thing I can suggest is to use the ramp tool and sketch the boundary lines (not run) with the arc segments. I think it would be the easiest. Use boundary lines, they will give you more sketch options.

You can do a ramp with the floor object as well. A lot of people prefer doing just that. Adjusting railings however, is a major pita, but possible. Ramps at least, will give you easy railing time.
