ramp siding

How to make ramp siding (see attached) I don't want to use floor and add points, I need the ramp as generic family I already tried, I used extrusion but I have difficulties doing the two sides as shown in the screenshot. Any help appreciated. Thank you

Maybe the easiest way to construct is to make it in the massing environment.

-Draw triangles in all three baseplanes

-Connect every oblique line and create form

 

It is however also possible in a generic model family:

-Create one triangular solid

-Create two voids to cut the sides of the solid (you need an angular void to obtain your result)

Okay, here is a screenshot, follow these steps:

 

-Draw three points in floorplan, one at the intersection of axis and two at each of the axis.

-Go to 3D and Elevate the point created at the intersection.

-Draw reference lines in a chain and 3Dsnapping on (top bar)

-Select all reference lines and create form

 

-To make it parametric, create dimensions between axis and points you use to reference.

... you can create it as a MODEL IN-PLACE family

.... you need to use sweep blend and draw the requiered shape

Cheater 🙂

 

Then I would recommend to draw a litte rectangle in both sweeps below the reference line ánd create a void to cut off the material you don't need. Nonetheless, clever solution!

Hello is there anyway you can show me in screencast tutorial on how to do the ramp with 2 siding on both sides as shown in my screenshot above so I can try to put parameter in massing. If can, If cannot its fine with me. Thank you

... hi @Anonymous

 

... go to level 1

... component

... model in place

 

Picture1.png

 

.... choose generic model (or the one you need / want

.... click OK

 

Picture2.png

 

.... rename it

... click ok

 

Picture3.png

 

..... choose SWEPT BLEND

 

Picture4.png

 

.... first ....Sketch path

... click ok

 

Picture5.png

 

.... start the line on the top part to know where will be the first profile

... click ok 

 

Picture6.png

 

....go to the north elevation

... select profile 1

... and draw it the way you want

 

Picture7.png

 

.... after finish click OK

 

Picture8.png

 

.... now repeat the profile process for the second one

.... draw a thin rectangle

... click OK

 

Picture9.png

 

.... now click OK... and finish your family

 

Picture10.png

 

.... go to your 3dview

... done

Hi

 

Ramp can be sloped ONLY is ONE direction.. ( exception is circular ramp )

because of that constraint it will be impossible to model that portion.

 

You may use

1. Inplace family, and model that potion

2. Floor with " modify sub-elements"

3. Adaptive family with parameters

4. Use Floor for the ramp, and floor edge to model that.

5. use one single floor and " edit/modify  sub elements"

Floor - Modify sub elementsFloor - Modify sub elements

Why are you against using a floor with modified sub elements? It seems to be the best tool for this.

Hi, I have already done that, but the ramp structure is embedded into floor slab which is not good for presentation for construction which not going to happen in reality. Thank you

Make a solid geometry and cut solid using void ( that void needs to be in a plane tilted capturing 3 edges )

Rather than create a solid outside the ramp profile - you need to create a void to cut from the ramp..Rather than create a solid outside the ramp profile - you need to create a void to cut from the ramp..changing that extrusion to void...changing that extrusion to void...

I have posted 4 files.. to understand steps..

check out the 4th..

1. you need one void to get the PLAN profile right

2. another void at angle
