Travis Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Without more description, it's hard to know exactly what sort of ramp you're making. If it were me, for most ramps I can think of, I'd use the Roof Plane tool. This way I could use the Object Info Pallet (OIP) to adjust slope and size. . .from either a 3D or 2D view and it would be correct for both. In future postings, perhaps you could list your OS (type and version) as well as the version of Vectorworks you'r using. Good luck, Quote Link to comment
mwysolme Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 sorrie im using vectorworks 12 and its just a ramp that is 7' long and 4' wide that starts on the ground and ends at 1' off the ground. I hope that helps. thanks Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 If your ramp is truly rectangular in plan view, then here's what I suggest: 1) switch to a side view 2) Draw the triangle shape (section) of the ramp) 3) Still in side view, extrude the triangle to 4' (the width of the ramp). 4) Switch back to top/plan view and move the ramp into its propoer position. As an alternative you could folow Travis' advice and use the ROOF FACE tool. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment
