Designing Ramp - Vertical Circulation

Ramp can be create in Plan view and 3D view
Ramp can be stretch by boundary line, riser line
Ramp can be define straight run, L-Shape ramp and Spiral ramp

Often used for short vertical distances

Architecture tab > Vertical Circulation panel > Ramp

Properties palette - Edit type

Rise of Ramp = Maximum Incline Length / Ramp Max Slope (1/x)
                    = 12000 / 12
                    = 1000

If rise of ramp need to be 600mm
Max Incline Length = Rise of Ramp x Ramp Max Slope
                             = 600 x 12
                             = 7200

Ramp Max Slope also related to level height anf total length of ramp

Total Length of Ramp = Level Height x Ramp Max Slope
                                 = 4000 x 12
                                        = 48000

Staight Runs

 Annotate tab > Detail panel > Detail Line

Sketch the detail line 12000, offset 1500

Architecture tab > Vertical Circulation panel > Ramp

48000 of inclined ramp created, 0 remaining

Ramp come with the handrail by default

Edit Boundary Condition

Select the ramp
Mode panel > Edit Sketch

Delete the landing, change to round shape
Draw panel > Start-End-Radius Arc

Raining also edit by default

Wheelchair Ramp

Design a wheelchair ramp between basement to 1st floor
Level height: 1000
Total Length of Ramp = Level Height x Ramp Max Slope
                                 = 1000 x 12
                                 = 12000mm

Make a U-Shape, each run 6000mm, Ramp Width: 1000mm, Gap between Run: 200mm

Architecture tab > Circulation panel > Ramp

Sketch the ramp
12000 of inclined ramp created, 0 remaining
