I am trying to make a curved ramp that slopes up. I am working on a multi-level car park. Any advice?

Thanks,

James

Now I can make a curved ramp, but it will not slope...I'm stumped.

How did you do it?  I have an entry driveway to a large project that rises 12' and curves 90 degrees.  The drive should also have a counter-slope of 1/4" per foot for drainage.  I have tried using the massing functions and feel i am getting close,   but if anyone has had a similar issue that would be great.

I used the ramp tool combined with the geometry I learned eons ago in high school and was able to get the right slope with the curve. Then I realized that I couldn't attach walls to ramps, nor will ramps host things so I redesigned and took out the curve. I have not tried massing yet, but if you need a counter slope that might be the way to go. The ramp tool seems quite complicated, but with some persistance and the help files I managed to figure it out, which means any average intelligence person should be able to do it in 2/3 the time it took me.

Hope that helps...best of luck.

Try making the ramp from a floor and use the slope arrow to make it rise.

A sloping floor won't work because you can't define the slope to follow the curve, the slope arrow works only in a straight line. Even if you only define the grade using a slope arrow, you will find that one end of the won't be co-planar with the level you are connecting to. (refer attached images)

These are from current project, and this is bugging me. Is massing the best option???

Create the flat section as a floor with a fall arrow. You need to create the curve separately as a ramp:

Draw a 2d line drawing to work out how long you need the ramp to be to achieve the required fall. ie: for a 1:5 ramp and you need to drop 1 meter, the length should be 5m.

Curved ramps have different grades on the inner and outer curve.The outside curve will be a shallower gradient.

The length you have calculated should be the length of the inner curve, the maximium gradient.

Use the ramp tool to draw a ramp with a 5m inside curve and define the base level and the top level.

That's it. If the material of the floor and the ramp are the same you can join them.

HTH - post if you need more advice, they can be tricky

Thank you for that, I will try it. To the OP, this should work for you too???

OK, so i have manged to get this to work - however - when i try to select the sloping floor to connect to the curved ramp, the ramp isn't selectable geometry...???

I might try to use the massing tool and then apply a roof by-face that replicated the floor type i need.  That way i can attach walls to the element.  I think this is the quickest way to get a coplex shape and i have had experience doing this.  I give the referenced option above a try as well.  Thanks
