however you do it, one suggestion, if you need to edit the stramp, start again from scratch. it'll be much quicker
ponders for a moment
using mark's method, the u/s of the stramp will step (which could be what you want, i've never designed a stramp). with the mesh (and SEO) you can get a smooth u/s

no, you won't get steps under each individual section (which i hereby pronounce shall be hereafter called a strampette) of the stramp , but, using the mesh to roof tool, surely you end up with a step on the u/s between each strampette.
since each strampette/roof can only have a constant thickness?
happy to be proved wrong on this
bill
with you absolutely on the utility of this forum thing. learnt more, much more, here, than anywhere else

I made a modest little object that makes a ramp or a strampette
both with smooth undersides.
I did this initially because the "curved ramp object" in the
standard library both in AC 6.5, AC 7 and AC 8 is made with
the RULED command which is only a surface not solid and
I'm guessing is the reason it won't work with SEO.
Zero thickness doesn't work with SEO.
This object is made with the bPRISM_ command and is solid
and therefore works with SEO and gets around all this work involving,
meshes, mesh to roof, and SEO to get a smooth underside.
If anyone is interested, e-mail me and you are welcome to it.

All the other previously surface forms in GDL (that I've checked) are now producing true solids.

Is this true of the SWEEP command?
I looked in the newest GDL manual and it says
that SWEEP is a surface. But if your right
that it displays as solid this is good news.
What other previously surface forms in GDL
are now solids?

That of course means I don't have the exact answer to your question, I would have to try it myself.

I haven't tried them all, so I don't which ones might still be surface models. I discovered this when I wanted to use the TUBE to make an element to use as an operator in SEOs.

Those GDL commands that create bodies are solid.
Those GDL commands that create surfaces are not (e.g. COONS).
But in case of the earlier, it is also important what you set with the MODEL command.
MODEL SURFACE or
MODEL SOLID.
Check that in the ArchiCAD Help. It has a picture of it.
