I am having a really challenging time creating a complex curved ramp and attaching a wall to it. When I attempt to pick a path for the sweep blend tool it will only let me pick one section of the curves. When making the curve I have to create several segments in order to get the complex curve. Is there a way to join the lines so that the path will reach from the beginning to the end of the ramp without running into this segmenting problem? Please see attached photos for more information.
Thanks!
P.S. You mentioned you projected the line of the ramp to the floor. How does one project a line? THANKS!
Not sure if it's gonna help, but:
model in place
if it's a wall, pick wall
start by selecting (i think) swept blend
Pick a path of the ramp (all the path of the ramp)
finish
select 1 profile
edit profile
draw profile
finish
select 2 profile
edit profile
draw profile
finish
and complete the swept blend function
done

If none of the methods described in my previous posts above works, then, it might be a task for an adaptive family, as shown in this video. After the family is placed horizontally, you can lift the adaptive points to the desired height.
Another method is to use a Floor instead of a Ramp, and then simply attach the Wall(s) to the bottom side of the Floor.
A Curtain Wall may be used, but it will be "segmented" arcs, not a true curved glass wall.
Creating a spiral Floor is a bit of a challenge, but it can be done by editing Points and giving elevations, or perhaps using a Slope Arrow.
