"Select the Mesh, use Tools>Convert Mesh to Roof, and the mesh will be converted to a surface with thickness and with different materials on top and bottom."
I am using AC9 and I cannot find this command under the Tools menu. What gives?

This tool/goodie, like may other ArchiCAD tools, is not loaded by default. You will need to go to your add-on manager and search for more add-ons.
You will find the roof to mesh add-on in the goodies folder, which is located in you ArchiCAD 9 folder. Once you have it loaded you will be able to acess it under you tools menu.
BTW, you will find the add-on manager under the same menu.
HTH.
Cheers.
Ben

What are the conditions where you would want to do that?

A ramp is an element that has the same thickness throughout. I could not make the ramp out of a mesh as I needed thickness. For this reason the surface option of the mesh tool was not satisfactory either for me. I also took sections of the ramp so I needed the thickness which the roofs provided.
