Creating Room Under Curved Ramp

Under a non-Geometric Curved Ramp We cannot create Wall for the shape to meet the ramp bottom. If created with a ramp entity we cannot place door in the ramp enity. Is there any solution???

Please see attached image.

Picture 1 shows a vehicular ramp in a garage building, as an example.
Start with Component > Model In-Place. In Category and Parameters, select Walls. Then proceed with Solid > Swept Blend.
Picture 2 shows a swept blend operation ready to go. Profile1 is the section of the lowest end of the wall. Profile2 is the section of the highest end of the wall. The arc on the first level is the path, which is a projection of the outer curve of the ramp above.
Picture 3 shows the finished swept blend operation.
Picture 4 shows the wall, now with material applied, and some doors in it.

Could you please explain how to change the normal wall into a curtain.
thank you

Actually, for curtain walls the solution is a little different.
1. New > Conceptual mass.
2. Draw the curved path on the floor, and the two sections at the ends.
3. Select the path and the two sections, > Create form.
4. Load into project, locate it on the floor.
5. In a 3d view in the project, Curtain System > Select the outer face of the form > Finish system.

Please see attached image.

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

Thanks for your reply. The issue I am having is when it comes to picking a path. It will only allow me to pick one segment of the path. When making the arc I have to click several times along the curve in order to capture its complexity. That unfortunately gives me these segments and hence the path problem. Any suggestions on how to work around this would be great. From what I?ve read so far you can?t join line segments into one continuous line in Revit like you can in AutoCAD, but I hope I?m wrong.

Thanks again for helping me out!

could you sent the model of the ramp to v.tetervov@edu.salford.ac.uk ?
I'll see what what i can do. cheers

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.
