How to design L shape ramp

[Anonymous]

Hello ,
I have 2 ramp in my project. One is straight and another is L shaped. I have already designed the straight ramp using object named 'ramp 23'. (See the fig)
But I am can't design the L shape ramp. Are there any other object to draw this?

TBH, I was hoping for a more straightforward method. I wonder what is the point of being able to use the stair tool to create ramps, when even a fairly simple ramp like the one I'm trying to make is so cumbersome?

That is just it.
The stair tool has not been made to create ramps.
These are just work-arounds to try to do it with the stair tool.
It seems logical that the stair tool could do a decent ramp - but it can't it seems.

Personally I would use a ramp object, roof, mesh or morph.

OK.
So, for clarity to the users I think that there should be a disclaimer to this: https://helpcenter.graphisoft.com/knowledgebase/75566/ that the method works only for straight flight ramps

You can create any type of ramp using stair tool. I already did this. here is a tutorial which I followed. Although it's not n englis u can use automatic translation. Don't worry/. you can do this

Perhaps your project needs are very specific... but for this kind of ramp I use just three roofs/planes.
It allows me to use composites and the mitering between roofs/plans is perfect.
The last ramp I make it with negative pitch just for hide the roof pivot line in an edge.
HTH.

Thanks Avi.
I didn't understand a word but it was very informative all the same.

You can always put automatic legends in English.
