Options for making Ramps and Stairs vertically Room Bounding

Is it possible to make a Ramp element vertically Room Bounding? 

 

I understand it is possible to create sloped floors, however this process is cumbersome for complex boundaries, and does not allow us to automate or filter based on ramp geometry.

 

We have a similar issue with stair elements, where we're constantly needing to create non-existent ceilings to limit the bounds of cupboards under stairs.

 

Any help would be most appreciated!

For ramp I would use slope floor instead of ramp to get the room bounding. As for stair, I would use basic slope ceiling.

Agreed, We need to have the option to make stairs room bounding. esp when we have double helix type stair arrangements. Where two sets of stair occupy the same core.
