View Full Version : Sloping stair wall

I am trying to get the top of this sloped wall so it is parallel to the ground as it descends. If I use either a void or attach the top to a reference plane I end up with a "trapezoid" at the end of the wall... this is just the nature of the way a sloped plane will cut a curving wall. Is there anyway I can get the top of the wall to descend parallel to the ground?

Thanks

Making progress...I am using a ramp instead of a wall now so my top is how I want it, but the bottom of the ramp slopes parallel to the top...I tried cutting the bottom with a void, but that didn't work...I can always put a shorter curved wall in the same location as the ramp so the bottom appears flat.

Try this family. I beleive Phil Reid (autodesk) posted it to help with one of my problems.

Thanks Jake. I can't figure out how he's getting it to work with a void, but it does! I could even put a thin ramp as a wall cap on top to get a railing to follow the curve and slope.

I believe he is using a void blend.

Support sent me this procedure of how to make a sloping stair wall. It is done with a lot of reference lines and a void blend.
