Ramp tool Designer series

Am drawing a disabled ramp using the ramp tool and I find I cannot make the landing length shorter than the width of the ramp. You can make the landing longer (adjusting the Offset) but I don't seem to make the landing shorter.

If I make the width of the ramp narrower the landing can be shorter.

Am I missing something?

Also the Handrail, can I position the rail in from the edge as you do in the stair tool?

So I am thinking the only way to draw a ramp with a few landings in a straight line is to model it in 3D by solid modeling?

Can't use a slab tool as you can't rotate them.

Hopefully I am missing something simple.

Maybe it's a program assumption of code compliance conditions where compliance requires that a landing cannot be shorter than the width of the ramp.

You're probably in for a VectorWorksAround involving modeling it yourself.

Maybe someone else can offer up a setting....
