Making long pedestrian ramps?

[kid]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to make a pedestrian ramp which has to rise 3800mm @ 1:14 rise. I got as far as this:

 

 

The problem I'm having is that the overall length of the ramp is about 55m, and there has to be a landing every 9.5m, how do I make this ramp object have more than one landing? Is it possible, or do I have to stick together 4 or 5 of these single landing ramps at shorter lengths to make up the 55m ramp?

 

Thanks Archicad gurus :angerazz:

use the mesh tool for this. it's like the slab tool, but allows you to move each point vertically. it can be controlled in the 3d window. i use it for terrain, variable height walls and ramps.

hi kid,

 

i'd either do as plastic says or i may be prone to use a down and dirty method of using a roof object for the ramps and a slab for the landings.

 

stairbuilder has it's limitations is this case, and some others come to think of it

 

best,

You wouldn't be the first to say so
